I replaced the battery, starter, alternator and actually changed the positive and negative cables about 5 months ago. For about 3 weeks now my battery has been draining and I'll have it jumped and drive for about an hour and it will be okay for a few days then back to square one and it is drained. What's going on with this vehicle? I'm getting really frustrated with it, help before I blow it up.

I have seen the A/C compressor clutch relay stick on causing the battery to run down overnight. Here is a guide that can help as well and the relay location in the images below so you can remove it to see if the drain stops.
