You can disconnect either the pos or neg battery cable and hook a test light or volt meter in line and see if the meter reads voltage or test light lites......if it does something is draining battery .....now this is after you recharge the battery
While test lite or meter is still connected pull fuses till light or meter reads 0 .......theres your drain ..........
