Battery being drained form fielder wagon

My fielder wagon battery is being drained in a matter of minutes. I have no system in my car that can drain it so fast only thing new is a gps and alarm system. Got my battery, alternator and deck checked out something they are all good. Is there anything else that can drain it. I am waiting for the guy to get chance to check the alarm system.

In minutes it's draining? Is it draining while idling or off parked?

It is being drained while it is off. I am getting the Parasitic drain test done on Wed but I Just want to have an idea so i can ask questions to the electrician. I had this car over 2 years never had any problems and the only thing new is the alarm and gps system.

check your relays. if one of them isnt working it can cause a drain. also make sure to ask the electrician to check for any grounding . hopefully the test gives u some results. usually fielders dont give much eletrical problems. first time i really hearing this. so more than likely i think is a relay of some sort

You are already on a logical route to solving the issue. The best thing to do is let the electrician do his/her job.

if a battery draining in minutes something is terribly wrong because the fuse should blow.
this should rule out your original wiring the car came with .
the the man who installed the gps system, did he run any wires direct from the battery ?
be careful before you explode your battery. sounding like a wire is shorted to ground and it has to be a pretty thick wire to handle that level of current without catching fire/melting
