The best way to trouble shoot this issue is what Brian suggests however the process is speeded up by placing an amp meter between the battery and the disconnected battery ground lead. Start replacing the fuses one by one until you see a reading of over 100 milliamps on the amp meter. Anything over this amount will drain the battery. Then by looking at the wiring diagram you can determine what circuits are used by the fuse that is drawing the power.
If your battery is over 5 years old it could simply be a battery going bad. Alternately you can leave a trickle charger on the battery when parked.
