1998 Saturn Front Wheel Drive Automatic 53000 miles

I have a 1998 Saturn SC1, 4cyl. With 53000 miles. Also it has a alarm that was installed when I bought the car new. Two weeks ago my car wouldn't start. Parked it on Friday night then try to start it on Sunday and the battery was completely dead. I figured it was the battery since I can't remember when it was changed last. I replaced the battery. A week later it was dead again. So I figured it was the alternator. Replaced that. Now its a week later and the battery is dead again. Also the alarm keeps beeping like it has gone off which I thought was due to the weakening battery. Anyone have any ideas?

You have an electrical short that's draining the battery. Disconnect the battery positive cable and put test light between the disconnected cable and the battery positive post-if there's a short to ground the light will lit-if it does start removing fuses one at a time the one that shuts off the light is the trouble circuit.
