Battery keeps going dead. How can I test the fuses to find the voltage draw.

What is your charging voltage?

Remove batt cable overnite or sub with a known one,cold weather usually takes out borderline ones and some will go bad as to take a few hrs to run down on it's own. Any additions lately,music etc? If ok with batt unhooked up then u can take a meter and in amp mode pull fuses one at a time and put meter probes across fuse connectors in panel and find the draw and how much,may take awhile to find which one(s). Set meter at highest amp setting and needs to be at least 5 amp capable.

This may be too obvious to post, but are you 100% sure the battery is good? Might want to get it tested before you go through the trouble of pulling fuses and stuff.
