I had a CD changer magazine, stuck in eject mode. For some reason is wired hot to the battery. It drained enough to to kill the battery after one day.

Just a long shot...I saw a loose battery terminal, act like a dead battery. I was giving a stranger a jump and twisted terminal. It was not tight.

You have been told to do the parasitic draw test. You can either follow along and diagnose it properly or toss parts at it. See the electrical section for a link to a good video by Eric the Car Guy on how the test is performed.
