<VV> 64 coupe runs down the battery...

[MarK Durham]

You can do some troubleshooting by pulling the fuses. I would do the
battery ground check mentioned first, then pull all the fuses, yes, all of
them, and see what happens, and then if the draining stops, add a fuse at a
time to find the circuit at fault.
