My mechanic couldn't find the problem and I don't want to spend big bucks going to a dealer with gas being so high and now my stereo isn't gettin any power. Husband only knows that it's not the radio, it's the power source or lack of.

The battery goes completely dead after the Durango is turned off in about 4 hours. I bought a new battery but experienced no change. I hooked an electrical tester between the ground post and ground cable and the light is on. I pulled the fuse for the parking and interior lights and the light dimmed and started blinking fast. I can here a faint ticking under the dash, but am not sure exactly where. The ticking matches the light blinking. I've traced all the wires I can find, but I'm not an electrician.
I'm mad enough to eat fried chicken! Anybody got any ideas short of calling the marines and let them use it for target practice?
Update from Apr 26, 2009: I removed the inside panel on rear hatch. Unplugged the rear wiper and the problem was solved. Afterward, I did some asking around and found this to be a problem on Durangos. One more thing. Tape the plug with some electrical tape to the door or it will rattle.
