Get a testlight and hook it up like the picture below. If it glows bright, you have a drain. Leave it hooked up, and start pulling fuses till it goes out. When it goes out, that will be the circuit that is pulling the battery down. Remember having the door open with the domelight on will ruin the test, since the domelight will be a drain. If none of the fuses make the light go out, then pull the wiring off the alternator. Sometimes the alt can cause a drain if there is something wrong with it(I know it's new, but don't assume anything).
