Dan,

It could also easily be faulty battery.  A few months ago I put a 
brand new battery in my Ranger peecup.   It kept draining down and 
would not start the truck after only a couple of hours of standing 
unused.  Turned out to have a dead short internally and I had to 
replace it.  Under warranty fortunately.
