On any C5 the car uses elec power all the time--even when the key is OFF---- mine will go dead also in 2-3 weeks-----However a usual problem is that the drivers side elect seat system goes bad and ues power all the time---Try dis-connecting the pigtail under the seat and see if the drain goes away---Do you have an aftermarket stereo?? have something plugged into the cigarette lighter all the time ??

Are you reading the drain with a meter? Some drain is normal but two weeks seems a little quick to kill the battery. You do know that you have 2 fuse boxes on the car, under hood and passenger floorboard. Lot so stuff on the board regarding this problem as well as fixes. Use the search option and type in "battery drain".
