You need to check the current draw on the battery while the engine is stopped and all doors shut. Now the easiest way is to use a DC clamp meter.

If the current draw is greater than 0.3 amps then remove each fuse one by one and check if the current draw dropped if it does then that circuit is drawing the current, investigate why.
