I would guess that something is arcing to the frame somewhere. I would check all power wires, especially if you have a sound system.

in order for the electric in the vehicle the power has to be grounded...example if you have a boost gauge it needs to be grounded in order to function probably

so if you have a mini battery I would guess the battery itself is going bad or the grounding is bad example the protective coating rubbed off on something and is grounding out the battery

some type of grounding kits have a round plate ,where you can hook up the ground wires.
Now some brand has a VERY bad connection there.Between the plates and the terminals. Just too many possible moving parts there.if you have that type, took it off, and try it without that. Check around the battery terminals too.
