Default electrical problem...

Hye everybody, I'm prety new here my namess Brett, but iwas wondering if any of yall could help. Ive got a 1990 rx7 5 spd. no turbo =[ lol. but the problem is if i let the car sit for more than a few days the battery is completely dead. i tested the battery and it good, the alternator is charging, and i did a voltage drop test on it and theres no draw. There really isnt to much hacked into the harness or anything..well at all. all its got aftermarket electrical wise is an electric cooling fan ran independanty form the harness on a tempature relay tot eh battery, but i tested that and that wasnt showing any problems. and i'v got subs, and thats not ti either. any ideas? ive asked a shitload of people and nobody could answere the question for me. lol. any help would be effing amazing. lol.

If you think that you don't have a short, remove the ground cable
for a few nights.

If batt goes dead, it's the battery.
If batt holds a charge, it really is a short/drain somewhere.-Bob
