So I just noticed the airbag light and the battery light glow when I turn the car off. They are not completely on like when the key is in the ignition, they are about half bright and stay on. Think this is draining my battery because after 5 days of not driving the car I had to get a jump. I've been reading some other forums and they recommend resetting all the seat modules connectors underneath the seats but that is only for the airbag light that stays on when the car is on. I'm gonna try this later tonight just wanted to see if any one had a different thought. Also if anyone knows if a malfunctioning clockspring could be causing this. Thanks.

If it was the clock spring it would turn the air bag light on all the time even when your driving and it would throw and airbag code. You can do a master rest of all the moduleby disconnecting the battery cable and touching both the cables together. That  takes all the current from the modules and reset them. You can check to see if you have a drain with a dvm

More news, after reading some more and doing some systems checks I found the circuit that drains the battery is Fuse F1.20. All the fuse box diagrams say that it's the generator fuse. So the alternator is coming out and has to get tested. Hopefully I can just get it rebuilt.

Fried diodes in the alternator will drain the battery like that everytime
