Start by taking off the neg. battery cable & hook up a volt meter between the post or side mount and neg. cable. Should read no more than 2 volts. 2 volts or more, start pulling the fuses one at a time until you see less than 2 volts. This is the circuit then that is draining on the battery. Now you have an idea where to look.
