Components with fuses can cause draws that will kill the battery in a day or two. It only takes about 1-2 amps to kill a battery overnight, sometimes less depending on the battery. 1-2 amps will not blow the average 5+ amp fuses found in cars.

I'm betting that's it. All it takes is one of those to touch ground or two of them to touch each other (kinky). Happy hunting.
