I feel your pain tracing down electrical gremlins, I have had to do that several times myself. My symptoms were similar to yours and mine turned out to be my alternator.

One of the best things I have done to my car was when I put in my battery cut off switch,. Lead line from battery ground goes directly to my swithch and then to a combo ground (engine and frame). Every time I exit my car after turning off my key I turn my battery switch off---eliminating any drain on the battery.
