Check the voltage regulator http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5024418_automotive-voltage-regulator-work.html
id you have the alternator tested be for you buy it But on your car when running it should be puting out 13.5 v With a volt metor if not over 13 v the altenator is bad I have seen this many times
Check charging system clean battery ends s12.5 idle 13.5 1000 Roma Then if still drawing current take- a test light put it inbetween pos cable and battery postive post light schould be on test light pull fuse out of box one at a time pill fuse light goes out another light foes out.another light stays on then take wire diagramed follow to where problem will be.let m e know which circuit it is .go from there ,now you know where short is.
I would replace the alternator if it is putting out at lest 13.2v at a idle it sounds to me that the alternator has more than one bad diode in it I would take it back I hope it has a life time
