Maybe you have a drain on the battery. There could be
something that is causing the battery to run down
prematurely. Make sure all dome, trunk, etc lights
extinguish, same with brake lights. Then check for
possible shorts to ground. Remove the battery cables
and put an ohm meter across them, making sure the key
is off and all accessories are turned off. If it
reads anything other than infinity (or a really really
high number) then you have a (partial) short
somewhere. If you have a current meter, you can just
clamp it onto one of the battery cables with the
battery still connected and see if current is being
drawn at "rest".
