btw i diconect the positive i conect a test light on it and touch the positive on the battery with the tip of the test light and it lit so pwer is draining i pulled all the fuses one by one no luck any ideeas?
 
It sounds like you are arching out somewhere in the positive battery cable before it gets to the fuses.
 
Pull the wires off of your alternator. You might have a diode that has shorted. This will drain a battery pronto.

And, usually it will still charge as there's more than one diode.

Good Luck
