    You can attach a 12 volt test light or a DVOM between the neg battery post and the end of neg cable, start pulling fuses till the draw goes away and then will need to inspect in the circuit that fuse controls for the source of draw that is draining battery.

    There could be a drain from an accessory that could be staying on, such as a glove box lamp or something of that nature. Have a parasitic draw test done.
