Common causes of a battery drain are the seat switches. They have complex circuitry and if something fails in one of them the battery is dead in a day or two. I would make sure the battery is fully charged, pull both seat breakers then set up your multimeter on the 10 amps scale and see if there is still a drain. If there still is a drain, use the procedure in post #2 to locate.
