Todd,


You may also have a digital clock that is also pulling power from that
battery continually. But that should not drain the battery over a
weekend. Disconnect the stereo and see what happens. This is going to be
one of those try-it-and-see episodes of trouble shooting.


Good Luck,


Regards,


John Rodgers
