Default Battery Drain question?

Having a problem with battery dying. It is a brand new battery so I ruled that out. If I drive it everyday it's fine. The problem is if I leave it sit for 3 or 4 days, the battery goes completely dead. I tried testing for a draw, and there seems to be one, but i could not find it.
any thoughts ?

Swapping parts is not diagnosis. Millions of new batteries have been, are, and will be bad. Same for every other part. If you don't know how or don't have the equipment to test it, take it to someone who does.

I don't have any idea either, that's the reason you need to take it in, so it can be properly tested and diagnosed.
