You reallyshould first check if the battery is going flat because of a "drain" - glove box light stuck onor something. Borrow and inductive amp meter from your local fiendly parts store (Autozone will lend you one) - turn EVERYTHING off and connect the amp meter around the battery cable. The drain should be virually zero - just the clock and nothng else.
If you find the drain to be more than 0.5 Amp - then start pulling fuses out one at a time till the drain disapears and the amp guage drops to zero. Now you have found the circuit with the power drain - last thing is to go searh that circu for something stuck on - glove box light, trunk light, acc fan etc.
GOOD LICK
