It does appear to have been the headlight motor. Hooked all my sterio stuff back up and just left the headlamp fuse out and she fired right up this morning.
Long story short, after the accident my headlights didn't raise all the way ( about an inch short ). The shop welded the roughly 5 1/2 inch metal bar that raises them up back together, but too short. I had Mike put the new bar in place and it will get them all the way, but they won't go all the way down so he hand cranked them up so I could drive at night and I guess forgot to remove the fuse.
I still have to get it back to the body shop to fix the problem, but at least in the mean time I can drive at night and my battery is no longer getting killed.
Thanks for all the advice!
