You have a short within the electrical system that's draining the battery.

sounds like the amp wires are draining the battery check the battery for new type of connections or try to trace the wires back or get an amp reader and check the ampage after the key is out if it still reading 12 volts their the problem not hard but save a bill at the dealers
