Shut the car off. Wait a few minutes for the interior fan to stop. Disconnect the battery positive cable and put an ammeter in the line between it and the battery. Look for a current draw. There will be a little at all times, but not much. Someone here can tell you how much is normal. Your's will likely be higher. Start pulling fuses until you find out what is drawing current.
