What do you think it would be if i put a new battery in my car and after about 2 or 3 days of sitting and i goto start it, the battery is just about dead but if i hook jumper cables up to it, it will start right up?

You have an electrical draw somewhere in the system.

I've heard of this before. I can't remember what it was thou. Try checking all lights like the glove box and hatch light if you have one. I wonder that if you have a system in it, if that would some how drain it?

yup, w. the car off, get a volt meter... and hook it up to the batt. then start pullin fuses one at a time... w. all of them in youll see a small draw... when you get the right one itll go to 0.. thatll atleast narrow it down for ya... then ya go from there...

You forgot to tell him to put the voltmeter between the negative terminal and negative cable not across the battery like your normal way.
