With the key off....Take one lead off the battery and connect an DVM set on amps in series. make sure no interior lights or acessories are on, reading SHOULD be very close to zero. If any current is being pulled begin to pull fuses and reinstall until you find the at-fault circuit. Thats the best way to start....

this happened to me...not sure if its the same deal for you. Although the exciter wire that plugs into the alternator looked intact, the casing looked fine...but the actual wire was cut.

Check to see if your glove box light goes off when you close it. Sounds dumb, but thats what happened to me. The light knocked out of its holder and never went off and drained the battery.
