Did you check the trunk light switch for function? Correct by adding padding to make switch open when lid closed?I had battery problems on my 2002 bird,,,removed trunk light,,,that solved the issue
I had the same problem until I shut off the factory Break In Alarm alarm system. I forget the sequence to disable it but think it is in the manual. Good luck.got a groud on something
A way in which to find the fault of a battery drain is to disconnect the battery and put a current meter in series with the battery. Then start pulling fuses in order to isolate the circuit or circuits. You would need to tape the trunk light switch to the off condition.and close both doors Be aware some circuits may have a purpose of a small drain such as the clock and some radios.So I have the 2004 TB and it has the battery drain problem. door dome light is out, radio has been replaced with an Apple compatible phone version, and I'm not aware of any other problem. My question is this- If I add a remote battery fob will I be damaging the computer? Doing so will add another level of theft protection. The other easy option is to add a remote terminal above the battery in the trunk and hook up a trickle charger, which also will aid in long term storage.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks, and have a good day.

On the 02 models the rear window defroster often did not time out & turn off. This could be a possibility.Hello. On my 2002 Thunderbird the battery drains overnight every time. A mechanic checked the fuses and battery and reconnected the ABS pump connector. For two nights the battery did not drain. Now it is dead, again. Was it the ABS pump or what it a coincidence? What could drain the battery at 5 amps?
