You need to check for battery drain. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Put your meter on the 10 AMP current scale and make the connection where the battery ground strap was. In other words place the positive lead on the chassis ground and the negative lead on the negative battery terminal. If you get no reading, scale down to 1 AMP or 100mA. You should see some current flow. Don't go too low or you will fry your meter. You should have around 50mA of current drain. More than that and your battery will drain itself over a short period of time.

Report back with your findings. Then you can start pulling fuses and relays until the high current draw goes away.
