Hi there. It definitely sounds like something is shorted electrically and not only draining the battery, but also preventing the proper operation of the other electrical components in the vehicle. This is a serious draw on the electrical system and requires a proper inspection by a qualified technician as improper service techniques may result in further damage to the remaining electrical components. To avoid any unnecessary part replacements, have a professional technician, such as one from YourMechanic, perform an inspection to diagnose your electrical problems.
