How do I solve this type of electrical problem?

2002 Jaguar S-type, 62,000 mi.  So far I have had my jag in the shop five times.  The car runs great, but every 10-14 days the battery goes completely dead.  So far, the jag dealership can’t figure it out.  Got any ideas?

This is something that will only be able to be fixed by a thorough check of the electrical system and charging system.  It sounds like something is drawing current when it's not supposed to be.  Have them start with the battery and charging system and go from there.  If they can't figure it out, you may want to switch to a mechanic who specializes in electrical problems.

I checked the charging system and replaced the battery.  10-days later the car was dead again.  So far it has been to the dealers 6-times and so far, 700.00 later, the Jag dealer still can;\'t find a PROBLEM.  I have read that some times a relay or two stick in the RECM. Got any Idea which ones to replace first?
