Looks like you have checked everything but to see if you have a current draw. If the car is dead right after you drive it and have had the battery on a charge its prob not that. If its dies after you drive it some place and let it sit for a bit, or overnight, then come out and its dead then you have too much current draw.
Limit of current draw varries by make, but it def should not exceed 20milli amps with everything in the car off, parked ect. you will need a volt meter to check that can test amperage. Set up the meter on a amperage setting. Then put one end of the meter on the ground lead to the battery, disconect the lead and put the other end of the tester to the ground position on the battery. what does it read? If it is over 20mili amps or in the 1+ amperage range you have some sort of electrical consumer pulling amperage from the veh when everything is suposed to off (like as if the lights or radio was left on)
If you do read a high, start pulling fuses. After each fuse you pull whatch and see if the reading goes down. If it does you found the curcuit that is the source of the current draw. inspect all the wiring in that circuit for shorts, bad connections ect.
sometimes youll pull all of the fuse and still have a high reading. In this case start disconecting every elect consumer you have one by one and check to see where you are with the draw, if it goes away then bingo, you found it.
hope this helps, lemme know what you come up with on the draw, and remember the reading needs to be amps not volts, volts wont give you a solid basis for whats wrong.
