I keep finding my battery dead, seems only to occur after using my keyless entry or the power door locks/trunk release. When I manually lock the doors, or open the trunk using the key, the charge seems to hold fine. I have replaced the BCM already and know it is not that. There doesn't seem to be any parasitic draw, leading me to believe that this may be a door lock or trunk release actuator that is occasionally sticking. My question is, where are these actuators located and is it a big deal to simply replace them, including the trunk release? Or am I missing something that could be the cause?

I would try disconnecting each one of these actuators 'till you found out which one was causing the drain, if that's even the problem here...

I actually now doubt that it is the problem. Have been locking manually and still getting drain. So no go The search continues, I'm getting annoyed with it.

I would try running a draw test again. It only makes sense that you have a draw if your battery keeps dying unless your battery is actually bad itself and won't hold a charge and you keep thinking something is drawing it dead.

I would take the battery out and charge it all the way up and take it in somewhere and have them test it or buy a load tester from Harbor Freight or somewhere and test it that way. If indeed you do have a draw you will just have to start pulling fuses until the draw goes away and go from there.

Tried all of that multiple times, but thanks. I am now under the impression it is my ipod interface adaptor. I am going to disconnect it and see what happens.
