Default 98 blazer with electrial problems

im having problems with my electrial for some reason after hours of not starting my battery acts like its dead it just barely lets the motor turn over then it drives normal all day until i let it sit again for hours then it does not want to turn over. i have checked all the fuses but now i checked under the hood some of the relays are hot not like burning your finger off but pretty warm. here are some that are hot... my fuel pump, fog light relay, a/c. im not running the a/c at all since its not warm out anymore could i have some bad relays that could cause me to have a bad draw on my battery. i also already had my alternator checked the test came back fine. so what could be the problem?

You need to have your battery tested first to se if its holding if it tests good then you need a multi-meter and look for parasitic draws. There are youtubes on that or come back that the battery is good. I'm bad at describing how it's done, some times a video is better. I think you might not be getting combacks because of the relay issue.
It's hard to understand cause I think you got things that are warm on diffrent circuts.
Just start with having the battery tested and if it's good we will find out what's killing it.
