Use an ammeter to measure current draw from the battery. Then start pulling fuses to see which one makes it stop...

You could check some obvious stuff like maybe the trunk light never turns off? Glovebox light? Amplifier? Alarm?

89's pending on the model, are the basic of most.

The biggest power drainer is the lights, more so the glove box light.
The door gets missaligned then WAM, dead battery without knowing it.

Sometimes there is a bad ground and then you end up with lights stuck on that you dont normally look for. So try the glove box light first. Then if that don't do it then look at it in the night and see if any other lights are still on like the door lights.

If still can not find then I would go and do the fuse thing.
