ok, you have been here more than a year now.
How did you manage to not fill out profile with location and details about car? It matters in terms of any part of the car - engine size, location of fuses, electrical equipment...

Location - temperature makes difference.
For instance - in your case, after a heavy rain some water could although should not drip into a fuse box causing some short circuit. But if you live in Alaska, rain is not really possible now...

 

Damn, my laziness is showing through
It's a 2001 Sportage 4x4. Although I don't live in Alaska, I am in Canada, on the east coast. New Brunswick to be exact. Now yesterday was warmer than it should have been and we had a nice snow storm this past weekend. I thought that perhaps that it has gotten wet and causing my issues. Just seems strange that it would last two days.

 

I think it might be water related as well, that or you have a wire that has the insulation damaged and is supplying power to a wire to the park lights when the switch is off.
