Try the starter.

I'd do a bench test of the starter before you replaced it- just set it in a vice and connect a fresh battery to it.

check for a short causing a constant draw on the battery.
with ignition off and all doors closed, disconnect the neg batery cable and put a test light in series with it. if the light goes on, theres a short somewhere that draining the battery. if the light doesnt come on, then i'm with the others. check the starter.. if it does come on, have someone hold the test light in series with the neg batery cable as you pull out each fuse till the light goes out. then look in the manual to see what uses that fuse and check those circuits. just dont forget to shut the door when you go in cuz then the light will stay on till you pull the fuse for the dome light hope this helps |
