Unplug the power antenna in the hatch area behind the molded carpet. That should eliminate the antenna and help troubleshoot the issue. Is the light in the hatch area always on and causing the drained battery problem? Is your cooling fan staying on after the motor is shut off and does it shut off? I had a dead battery and as soon as the battery was jumped, the cooling fan came on. It turned out the fan switch failed in the closed position and the fan ran until the battery drained.
If the battery is good, then the other drain area could be the alternator. One time, someone accidently reversed the polarity using jumper cables and it fried the diodes in the brush pack assembly and caused the battery to drain when the alternator was not putting out a charge.
