Lots of suspects...  switch left on .. or partially on... 
(corrosion)   (door light switches are good at this trick.)

Remove the ground from the battery to chassis. connect a lamp in series 
with the battery and ground.. if the lamp lights .. you have current 
flowing.. remove fuses.. if it is still glowing.  its between the fuse box 
and the battery.. otherwise .. whichever fuse you put back in .. when it 
glows .. will be the area to look... then start disconnecting things on 
this particular circuit until you find the leak.

cheers
