Default Electrical help

I️ have a 1999 XJ and I’ve tried to go through the electrical systems to see what’s drawing power from my battery when not running.
New battery was bought less than 1 week ago

Any/all suggestions as to what’s going on?

Disconnect a battery terminal and close the circuit with a test light. It should light up bright if theres a draw.
Pull fuses until it dims or goes out. The circuit it reacts to will be your problem.
