Default Battery still draining - bluetooth?

Hey everyone!

Just hoping if someone can give me some insight to this issue before i spend anymore money.

My car is a Ford Fiesta 2009 WS.

Around 2+ years ago, I hit a speed bump at high speeds. After that, my electrical went all weird. Bluetooth stopped working, and my radio sometimes wont turn on. My headlight will pop after 2 weeks of a new globe alternating between the left and right one.

About 6 months after that, my battery started to become weaker, and got worse over time. It got to the point where my car will run flat after 3 days of not driving. (This was not so much of an issue then because i had to use my car everyday).

A year ago, i finally got around taking it to the electrical mechanics. He did a full check, and i ended up spending about 900 on a new alternator and battery. After that, my headlights are fine and my radio works. (bluetooth was still dead).

A month after that, my car started to die again, and like before, it started getting worse and worse. Now, if i leave my car inactive for more than 2 days, it dies. (which is bad since i work at home now).

Last week, i took my car to the mechanics to get my car serviced, and i just mentioned the electrical problem i had. He was kind enough to test the voltages and he said it looks fine.

So i am pretty confused on whats going on here. The only real i can see thats still not working since the beginning is the bluetooth. Could that be draining my power? I occasionally get this ABS malfunction msg but i was told it is because my battery is low on power.

Does anyone have any insight to this issue? Are there any recommendations on electrical mechanics?

Thanks!

-Bryan
