Unhook battery positive cable and hook an amp meter btween cable and battery post. See how many amp draw you have. Normal draw is usually about 20 milliamps. If more which I am sure you have, start pulling fuses one at a time until the draw goes away and then you will know what circuit the problem is in. My guess is probably a light or door ajar switch somewhere. Give it a try and let me know what you find.
