went to start the car (about five days) and battery was dead (cleaned terminals not too long ago either). got a jump and the next day it was dead. i found the glove light popped out and was on probably that whole night and i dis connected it. got another jump ( volts where going up when revving engine) and the car sat for about 5-6 hours and battery is pretty much dead

Unhook your + battery cable and hook a test light from the + post to the cable. If it lights up you have a draw. If it does light up and the light is bright. I would start by unhooking the starter and alt. one by one untill the light goes out. If its not the started or alt. Start pulling fuses.

on it's way out.
