For starters, unhook the battery when you shut the car off, and that will stop the battery drain. You will need to find a really good mechanic who can trace the short you have in your electrical systems.
You have a few systems on your car that draw current all the time. Probably one of these is defective.
If you have a radio that has a green light telling you the time, this could be one.
If you have an electric fan that runs when the engine is off ( and the radiator is hot) , this is one of those systems.
If you have an aftermarket amplifier hooked to the radio, this is one of those systems.
Although you already had it checked, the most common cause of your problem is a defective voltage regulator that is inside the alternator.
God bless your efforts.

Chevy lumina 1995 van

I have a 96 Chevy Lumina with an electric sliding side door. A few weeks ago we started having problems with it. I went to work and when I got ready to leave it would not start. I had to have it jumped. Got home and let it set over the Thanksgiving weekend. Went to start it the Mon/Tues after and nothing. Let it set another week and still nothing. We jumped it again and it took 15 minutes to get enough of a charge in the battery to get it started. Took it to a battery store and they checked the battery and said that was the problem. We replaced the battery (it wasn't that old) and went home. A few days later it wouldn't start again. Could this problem have anything to do with the electric slinding door? if so, any suggetions on how to fix it?
