99 vette.. relay buzzing.. dead battery

[heavens rangers]

MY BATTERY RAN DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE SOLENOID CHATTERS WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE ENGINE...I DID NOTICE A BUZZING NOISE ON THE FUSE PANEL UNDER THE PASSENGERS FLOOR AREA...I FOUND THE MICRO RELAY NUMBER 42 MAKING THE NOISE......IT SAYS CTSY LP ...I AM SURE THIS MEANS COURTESY LIGHTS SO I PULLED THE RELAY OUT AND SLOWLY CHARGED MY BATTERY FOR A DAY....THE carDID START BUT I CONTINUED TO CHARGE IT WITH A 2 AMP TRICKLE CHARGER....THE CAR SAT FOR APROX 20 HOURS AFTER THE CHARGE AND NOW THE BATTERY IS DEAD again WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NUMBER 42 RELAY PULLED OUT. ...the car has sat before for a couple weeks with no starting problems.....I WAS THINKING OF BUYING A NEW BATTERY ANYWAYS...ITS A FEW YEARS OLD AND TAKE IT FROM THERE...ANY QUICK FIXES WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THE CAR HAS APROX 70,000 MILES AND NO SPECIAL UPGRADES...THIS IS MY 5TH VETTE........ YOU CAN SEND REPLIED TO MY E-MAIL ADDRESS FALCON51@COMCAST.NET THANKS KEN
