I really doubt you have four draws on four different circuits if you pull the fuses one at a time and replace the fuse and move on to the next one what does it drop too?

I dont see what those four fuses have in common did you try all the fuses in all the fuse boxes?Also do you have any aftermarket installed accessories?

The battery light is on?So is the alternator charging?If not lets fix that problem and go from there the alternator could be draining the battery.
