Which is the compressor? If I'm not mistaken the only thing unplugged is the air intake temp sensor, other than that I think everything is hooked up.

In your middle picture..the silver topped thing to the right. With the wires going into the top. That is the leveling compressor. On your year if the system develops a slow leak...that compressor is wired to the battery and will come on as needed. Sometimes frequently during the night....draining the battery. A possible short term fix to check the battery drain would be to unhook the compressor.

OK, i see what you're talking about. Right now it is raining but I will unhook it when the battery stops. Once I get it unhooked I have to charge my battery again so I can see if that is whats doing it. I'm really puzzled because the battery drain started within the last week or so.

That would be a semi usual symptom of the ELC compressor. When you are near your car..w/o it running do you ever hear a "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" from the under hood (say near that compressor) area?

Yea, Sunday morning when the battery first died. I went to start it up and it wouldn't crank. So i put the jumpstarter on it and when I turned the key it clicked and then I heard like this hissing sound on the drivers side.
