I figured out my problem was the turn signal switch. The switch was worn so when you would activate the hazard lamps the spring couldnt keep the circuit closed. The screw for the hazard **** allowed current to flow through the circuit even if the hazard lights were off because there was no tension on that spring.

If your radio is tied into the brake light circuit you can cut the wire, tape it up and then find another power source for the radio.

Say the battery will last 41 days.
It will then be dead.

And even if it were half gone say, 7.5 volts.
Thats not enough to start a car/truck.

I looked at the current draw one fuse at a time and discovered that it was the radio.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I borrowed my friends fuse buddy and tested every fuse, both in the engine compartment and side of dash panel and found 2 serius draws first is 1.5 amps on the RDO BATT 15A fuse and 1.5 amps at INT BAT 50A mega fuse. Any ideas?
