So I replaced the battery when I had it tested and it came back as bad, just so you know its not the new battery cause Ive also taken it to the dealership and they said that the new battery is just fine.

So heres my issue, if I let the car sit for about 2 days without starting it then the battery is dead. Something is draining my battery but I dont know what it is and its doing it when the key isnt in it.

Can someone give me some advice on where to start looking at? Im pulling replying now and testing them just to make sure one isnt stuck closed.

First welcome!
Sorry to hear about your issue.
You have a parasitic drain.

Go in the search and type that in..." There is a pretty good write up on tracking it down.
