Either the battery is bad or you have a drain in the system. Test the battery first to see if its o/k and if it is then use a multimeter to measure the milivolt draw and start pulling fuses till it goes away. Remember that if you have the door open while you're pulling fuses to tape the pillar switch down so it won't be a draw, that goes for a hood light also. Some places to check for a draw are glove box/interior lights, alternator & radio.
