I had a similar issue. Parasitic draw. In my case, there is a very dim interior ambiance light that would stay on. This light goes out when the electronics go off a minute or three after you turn off the ignition. My ignition switch was bad, and the lights stayed on which killed my battery. We changed the ignition switch and magically my battery has been fine every since.


When searching for a parasitic draw, also check the lights in the front and rear trunk, sometimes the latch doesn't work properly. My mechanic said he put his kids in the trunk with a flashlight to check if the light goes out...I don't recommend that approach. Maybe take a video recording on your phone instead?
