Default Electrical Short Keeps Draining Batteries

I have a 2004 S70 with 50k miles on it purchased Aug - 10. This is my wife's car and, she goes out of town to visit family 3-4 times year. When car sits in garage for 3-4 days, batteries drain completely. We are on our 2nd battery in 6 mos and, just happened again over week-end. Anyone know where the electrical short is and how to fix?

Thanks - wward7

Default Electrical Short

Never mind, my independent Foreign Auto Shop found short in passenger vanity mirror that kept it in the on position all the time. Cut wire and working fine now.
