First you need to fully charge (if it will take one) and test battery resting voltage first, then do a load test. Could be a bad battery

Agreed, first you need to charge it (if you don't have a tender, might be a good time to buy one), then check the usual suspects, like glove compartment light, hatch light, etc.
If it doesn't turn out to be something easy (i'm betting it does though), you can get load testers that plug into the fuse locations.
