ever since i bought my car 4 or 5 years ago. everytime when its cold outside, my battery would be dead(not driving the car a day or two). i changed the battery 3 times and alternator twice. so my question is
whats the easiest way to find a short in my car

you have a paracidic drain, unhook negative battery terminal, get a multimeter, switch to 10amp, hook black lead to terminal hook red lead to cable, look at meter normal should be .010-.015 amp, may take a few minutes to drop down because the ecu is still awake and taking some power, if its higher than that start pulling some fuses, if u pull one and it drops the problem is in the circuit, and mess around with switches, make sure key is not in ignition that will give you a high reading, also dont open the door with the meter hookedup it will smoke the fuse inside the meter

i think i did that once but it came out as normal but then i probably was doing it wrong.

guess i will test it again
