If it has the buttons in the door jamb for the dome lights pull them and check them. Some have exposed connectors on the backside and can get loose in the hole and ground. Also check the wiring and boots where the harness comes from the A-pillar into the door, maybe look around behind the kick panel and fuse box. Sounds like the issue is related to the door opening and closing. Maybe a skinned wire from the harness being packed too tight.

Drive it down to your local auto parts store and have them hook up their machine. After I did one fuse at a time checking for a parasitic draw, their machine found out I had a bad diode in my alternator on my old truck :). I know yours checked out good but maybe when everything is connected something else will show up as being bad :)

Thanks, I had them replace the internal regulator making it a one wire, and the replacement battery will be here next week. Battery will not stay above 12.4V just sitting by it self on a bench after charging
