How old is battery; possible it's just not holding a charge. Next step remove fuses one at a time until you find out which one is has the drain. You're sure you don't have a glove box light, underhood light or anything like that that's not going off?

All late model vehicles have what they call "parasitic draw".....The radio memory, the computer memory, etc.........Not supposed to exceed 50 milliamps..........If you're discharging a 65 case battery how long does it take????? Glove box/small lamps would take a day at least to discharge a battery like that............If it dies in a short time, either A) the battery only has a "head charge" and needs to be replaced.........or B) somethin that uses a LOT of current such as a rear window defogger is stuck on.......
