It's far more likely given your drain down that the problem is a parasitic loss rather than a ground problem. I would start by checking the alternator as a source of the drain. Other possibilities are the stereo system and any relays, dome light, glove box and trunk lights, etc. All it takes is a test light at the battery to check for such loss. - Dave
