Does the battery die while driving or while the car is shut off?Also do you have a multimeter?

If it dies while it is shut off then you have a draw on the battery somewhere.A multimeter reads volts ohms etc and some you can measure a draw and pull fuses till the draw goes away so you know what circuit the draw is on.
