Every morning when I get up, the battery is low. The battery is tested, good. Alternator is tested, and good. Something is shorting causing battery to slowly drain, and I'm about to start pulling fuses over night to get it narrowed down to single circuit if possible.
You test at the fuses with a multie meter or cheap test light, just remove each fuse and test across,one at a time,the one that is drawing small amount of power will show up, you dont disconnect anything before testing, and remember all doors should be closed before testing and ingnition key off. i had a short on one car i owned and it was the cygarette lighter,i just cut that wire at that fuse,as i never ever used it,and i never ever tryed to findout the cause. battery was fine from then on.
This may not be much help but I had the same problem with my Escape.After much trouble,I found out the radio was drawing current with the ignition shut down.It was getting hot.You might need to be patient with this and do what you said about pulling a fuse for the night until you narrow it down.For now double check the glove box light and radio.
No it's not the alternator causing the drain. I'd get it to an electrical shop and pay a professional to start pulling fuses to determine the source of the draw.
if your battery is over 3 yrs old i would replace it anyway. pull the pos battery cable from the batt., then test between the cable and battery, you shouldnt get anything. if you do, pull the fuse/relay for your headlights and retest, if you dont get anything, you may have to try another circuit
