Just found out last week the reason my battery kept running down was a bad power seat switch that was stuck in the "on" position! Turns out it burned up my seat track motor and blew the 25 amp fuse. Lucky the car didn't burn down. Anyways went to the U-Pull-It wrecking yard and got a manual seat track from a 93 GT for a whole $14.00, plus I sold my old aluminum toolbox to a worker for $25.00! Had to drill 2 holes in the back of the track but everything else bolted up nice and my lumbar still plugged in. I sit slightly higher but I now have storage space under my seat and I like the secure manual setup. Just something to think about when your power seat switch goes bad; replace it or you may get electrical problems. Just my $00.02.
