Default Battery drain Passenger door

Went out this morning and the battery was dead. It took a jump within 10 seconds. The only thing I did yesterday was take the passenger door panel off. (Gonna do the 5" speakers 1 by 1) If I left the switches unhooked over night, which is what I did, would that have something to do with it? Like maybe something getting, or not getting, grounded out.

Maybe the same as when I pulled my rear door panel off. When it was replaced, I put the wrong screw where the door meets the light switch plunger. The screw wasn't tall enough to activate the switch, which caused the door light to remain lit.

If your panel is still off, that would be my guess. The small door open light is remaining on and killed your battery.

Thanks man, after a couple hours of searching that's what it turned out to be. I didn't notice why sooner b/c I didn't see the interior lights b/c it was light out. Every other car I ever owned had the switch in the front where it didn't hit the panel so I never thought of that. The way I found it was when I tried to lock the doors with the remote it didn't beep and lock. I also noticed the light on the dash (door open) was on. I just put the panel back on. Thanks again.
