What is your question?
fan sensor kept running,killed battery frequently. Have an electrical charger from neighbor so we will recharge it fully after having to jump it several times. The problem was a bad sensor that kept running for hours. The sensor failed and the car overheated on the interstate, and a radiator hose busted before I could get the car off the road. Very hot day and happened within 2 minutes. Replaced radiator and sensor in front for $750 and now the battery is dying again. Auto parts store checked battery, says its fine. Now hear something running on right side of engine when car isn't cranked and is cool. Fella that jumped us said alternator seemed fine because car stayed cranked after jumping off. Any thoughts on what is pulling the battery. Dies after 1 day of full charging..... Thanks

Under the RF fender is the alarm system siren. These sirens can draw current and drain the battery. Beyond that this will need to be diagnosed for a parasitic drain on the system.It's best to measure the amount of draw on the system, then eliminate each circuit by pulling a fuse, until you find the circuit causing the draw. Be careful, this is a very sophisticated, networked computer system, and if you not careful you can do more damage than you expect.
