Short somewhere draining my battery!!

I have a 2000 Durango that was working fine. Woke up one day and the battery was dead. My mechanic friend took a little time to track down the problem, and all he could come up with was for me every nite to pull the radio/overhead light fuse. This solves the problem of keeping my battery charged, but does that lead me any closer to where the problem/short lies???? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!! Lindsey

I had a similar issue. I am not sure if the radio / interior fuse also feeds the under-hood light. However, my under-hood light came loose from its mount, allowing it to turn on whenever the hood was closed, rather than open.

This took several days for me to find. :banghead: You might want to check it out.
