Had this problem in my car. Would take about 2 days to drain it to where it wouldn't start. I checked the current draw (using the methods described above), but found it to be too high even with every single fuse & relay pulled.

Turns out it was the starter (which bypasses the fusebox).

What was wrong with your starter?
How can the starter be responsible for your battery draining?
You're problem sounds exactly like mine, after pulling out all relays and fuses it was still too high.
Thanks!

Only fan that runs is the radiator, which runs for about 30 seconds when the car is off, then shuts off.
Keep posting, Thanks.
