You need to do a current draw test using an Amp meter hooked between the battery Pos (+) terminal and the battery pos (+) with key out and doors closed read of the currant draw in Amps should be no more than about .2 Amp if higher readings, start pulling fuses one at a time to locate problem circuit.
