Hi there,
You will need to get a current draw test done to check for a circuit that is open and causing this drain, connect an Amp meter between battery pos(+) and the pos(+) lead, with doors closed & key out check the current draw, if above about .45 Amps pull fuses one at a time to find the faulty circuit. try this next.
