    Hook up an amp meter in line between the negative battery post and negative cable and start pulling fuses.

    If original battery, then its 7+ years old. If so, then probably just replace it.

    Otherwise, check for parasitic draw from any add-on mods to the electrical system.

    When you replace the battery, buy as many CCA as you can. CCA really helps when temperature fall below 32*F, more so below 0*F.
