I have a 2002 that runs normal, electricals work fine with no obvious shorts (burning smell) or blowing fuses. its been modified with a full audio system with subwoofers, four off road aux lights, a viper alarm, and various interior accent lighting.

its a fairly new battery but dies in about 3 days. I don't have anything that is left on that takes a lot of power so its hard to tell what's taking it all and even though the alarm is constantly running I doubt it would be designed to drain a battery in 3 days.

Is there a special tool that can detect current flow through a wire or some way to see what is drawing all the power?

I just went through the same thing on my 2011. Had my amp tied in at my ignition fuse but comes to find out that that fuse is hot on both sides due to my remote start feature. Make sure you are tied in at the actual ignition harness and you should be good to go. No problems for me since I re-routed to my harness.

my alarm is tied at the harness and the amp is connected directly to the battery, has to be something else.

Use a test light and start pulling fuses, is really all you can do at this point. If I were to guess those viper alarms love drawing power with the ignition off. See it all the time on cars that don't get started everyday.
