Check the battery cables to be sure power is getting back to the battery. Have the alternator checked to be sure it is charging. Go out at night and look inside the car without opening the doors and see if any lights are on. Had a problem like this once and the glove box light wasn't shutting off. Just happened to see it when I went out to the car to get something. Drove me crazy for 3 weeks.

How do you test a car battery?
The battery can be brought to many shops for a free test. Otherwise, you can test the voltage and parasitic drain amperage with proper usage of a multimeter, available at most hardware and electronics stores. To test the battery beyond voltage and parasitic drain, a very expensive piece of machinery is required to test it further. Most shops have such equipment.
