hey did u maybe put your cd player in without professinol help? i think that might make your car do that if its not hooked up right but thats all i can think of. What kind of motor do you have in your 240

Do you have access to a volt meter? If you do you could check to see what fuse is drawing voltage and then check out that circuit.

Put an amp meter between a battery cable and the battery. Set it to the 10A setting. I'm not sure what these cars use as an acceptable draw, but 20 mA (.02A) or less is pretty much standard. Now pull each fuse from the panel one by one until the draw goes away. Now that you know what circuit it is in it will be easier to narrow it down.

If you don't have an amp meter, a test light between the battery and terminal will also work. Just pull fuses until the light goes out.

Two possible issues:

Check all your fuses..the tcu (controls seat belts, door buzzer, etc is missing voltages.ORYou alternator is dying, pull and have it checked at your local auto parts store.

Just the fact that your battery goes dead overnight tells you, that you have a serious parasidic draw or your alternator isn't doing it's job. Just follow the steps above with the dvom/test light and track down that short. You can also check to see if your alternator is working correctly with a DVOM.
