Default Completely dead battery, power locks not working

Ok, here's the scenario, my cps crapped out a week ago so I reset it drove it home put in a new one a week later. I tried starting it up after I put the new cps and the battery was completely dead, dome lights wouldn't come on. So I put in a different battery and fired it up fine and noticed the power locks weren't working. I went to check for a fuse and saw it was a breaker that was extremely hot. Would this be the cause of my battery dying? If so..how do I go about fixing it? Thanks.

I think you're on the right track with the door locks causing a draw. One of the switches may be stuck or something.
