I'd fix that column.

There are wires under there you don't even want to know about..

Also - see if there's a short or something going on..

One simple, free thing to check is the condition of the battery terminals and ground strap. My SDV turned to a lifeless lump of metal in my garage one morning when the battery connections, which I thought were fine, suddenly went to an open circuit.

mine was dying as you describe. Terminal connectors did not look bad, but I changed them anyway...............and no more problems.
