check voltages running and not running could be that alternator not charging battery enough, are you doing lots of short runs etc what is the time span of the battery draining? overnight? couple of days ?
could be any number of things from duff battery, alternator not giving enough charge,  power sounder draining it, glovebox light or boot light stuck on
you really need to get a meter on it and post up voltages  :y

Had a stuck passenger seat adjust switch that caused this once - does not go off with ignition so would drain overnight

Found it when eventually heard the seat "clunking" against the stop

worth looking at

They should do ......... eventually. Opening the door wakes them up for a few minutes, and they stay awake for a few minutes after you've switched the ignition off. Stay in the car when SWMBO goes shopping & play at moving the seat  :y :y
