Both front power door locks on driver side and passenger side malfunction intermittently from inside of vehicle regardless of whether or not the engine is running. Secondary problem is the battery draining if left more than 24 hours without being started. Both batteries are one year old, in good condition, and are the right type. The main battery drains first, so when the auxiliary battery is still strong, the engine will start. I feel that the cause of the battery/batteries draining is not the batteries themselves but another source, possibly the front power door locks. The interior lights or exterior lights are not the source of power that is draining the battery/batteries. This vehicle is used and owned by a disabled person in a wheelchair. The vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary battery to accommodate a wheelchair lift, driver's power seat, and power sliding door.
