Default 2nd Battery... dead.

Its been a few months that my starting system has been giving me problems...
First symptom: Upon turning the key, I get just a single click from the starter but no start. Radio, headlights, all dash lights, and A/C work.
Had the starter assembly/solenoid replaced. Worked fine for a week, then again same problem.
Then I was told it was the alternator and the old Mopar battery needed to be changed, so I had that replaced.
Again, worked fine for about a week, then one day the new battery was completely dead. Had it replaced under warranty...
Fast forward a few weeks to today. Went to start my car, and the second new battery was totally dead. While trying to crank it, my dash display was flashing "fuse".
I got a jump and its been okay so far, its just a little laggy to turn over...

Nothing is left on when I leave the car, what keeps killing my battery?

Thanks for any help!

Try disconecting your keyless entry/alarm fuse for a couple days and see if that works. even know your alarm/locks arent doing anything it could be drawing power. I had an 01 neon that was killing the battery. The key sence in the door or the ignition wasnt working properly and was causing the locks to pulse/surge its not to noticable but it happens. Try that and see if it helps
