The battery keeps getting drained and the car has no power. The car won't turn over or crank at all when turning the key.

The most common cause of this problem is a bad battery. I would remove the battery and have it tested at the auto parts store. Here is how to remove the battery.

If the battery is new, I have seen the A/C compressor relay stick on and cause the battery to drain. please go over this guide which can help as well:
