Somethings is draining your battery. Issues like this arise frequently. Sometimes it’s tough. Door switch might be broken that’s not out of the ordinary. You’ll have to get a multi-meter between you terminal and battery then proceed to pull each fuse 1 at a time until it drops to where it should be.
I pulled all the fuses and put my fuse tester on them and there all good under the hood and behind the seats . Clueless on whats actually pulling that much juice to not be able to start my car .
The starter may be your problem. The solenoid could be slowly killing the battery over time, or the solenoid cable has a small short to ground?
