Get one of those lights that tells you there is a current, they look like a screwdriver with a short wire and an alligator clip. Disconnect the positive battery connection and put the light between the battery and the cable. If there is a draw, the light will come on. Now, go to the fuse box and take out the fuses, one at a time, until the light goes off. There will always be a current for the radio and the clock, but you will notice the brightness of the light change with that small of a current draw.
Once you discover the problem, you can act accordingly. My bet is the small switch on the door that turns on the overhead lights is bad.
