First make sure your battery is ok. Even a new battery is sometimes faulty. Drive to your local parts store and have them check your battery with an load tester.
If this is ok make sure your electronics don't mind being disconnected. Have a look in your owners manual.
Disconnect the positive clamp on your battery but take care not to touch the body metal with the wrench when doing this. Now connect an small light or circuit tester between the + terminal and the clamp. Put the clamp on a rag so it can't touch the sheet metal. If any drain is present the light will glow. Or you can check the amount of drain with an small ammeter. An drain of 1-2 Watts can be tolerated. Next pull the fuse for the clock and the radio. Still any current flowing (light on)? Ok, so you really have a problem. Now start pulling the fuses in the fuse box one by one until the light goes off. This is the circuit in which the problem lies. Check your manual or the indications in the cover of the fuse box to see which systems are connected to that fuse. The next steps depend on the systems concerned. Try disconnecting each one of the parts connected in the circuit.
