I got one on my 01 Tahoe. The battery is fairly new and has been tested good. I've checked all circuits that I know with a multimeter and haven't found any excessive draws and still if it sits for a couple days the battery is compleatly dead.
Anybody got any ideas?
 
You need to check the load at the battery. While watching that, you pull fuses until it drops substantially, then figure out whats on that fuse that is causing the draw.

There is at least one post here that explains how to test draw at the battery.
 
Does it have power seats? I have seen the switches jamb. They are powered from a breaker so pulling fuses will not show. Does the draw cycle from 25ma or so to near nothing?
