Humming sound under engine cover

and I have an electrical draw on my battery. Any ideas what it might be? Ignition coil maybe? It's pulling a lot of power and my car will die if I don't use it within a 24 hour period.

Alternator has been replaced a couple of times and the voltage seems to be right with it.

Alarm system is working fine too. I just can't figure out what the sound is that it is still running with the car off. When I disconnect the battery the sound goes away.

A while ago something weird happened to my maxi, i walked up on her and there was this sound more like a buzzing electrical sound tho,idk if it could be interpreted as a humm...but i opened the hood and it was the tb i just cycled the drum(valve)open and closed and it went away....

did you try following the source of where it was coming from?

I also have had maxi be dead a few times but only after a 5day trip and a 3day trip... I assume it is my auto dim mirror since i rigged it so I'll work(not properly)but the fogs i went thru the relay like stated on the write up on the mod.

any electrical mods recently?

I'll take a look at the tb, but I don't think that is it either. I haven't gotten around to trying to find the source yet. I'm hoping to this weekend.

No mods at all on this car. Bone stock.
