Default Starting Problems

Well this has been going on for a while now if i dont drive my car for a day the battery dies out. I replaced the battery thinking that was it but that wasn't the problem. I replaced my alternator thinkin that was the problem and thought i solved it but it wasn't it. Im thinking a ground came loose or something any suggestions on what my problem can be i would appreciate it. Thanks guys

You need to hook up a multimeter and see what kind of draw is on it. Then start pulling fuses until it goes down. The fuse you pull is the circuit that it's on. Then you need to find all the stuff that is on that circuit and trace it down to something that's drawing power.
