Default Parasitic Draw, HELP!?

ok guys i had started a thread before on my battery issue and i cant find my old thread..... So I took some of your advice thinking that my original battery was poop just BC of age, well thats aparrently not the whole problem. I bought a new battery installed it and the wheeler started fine and evrything checked out but I let it sit about 48 hours w/o being started hop on yesterday to do some yard work and.... NOTHING... so dead infact that when i grabbed the brake it killed it bc of the brake lights.
The only thing I can figure is that I have a parasitic draw from one or more of my accessories. I'm pretty sure its not the fog lamps bc I never had a problem before with them, so this leaves me to think it has to be my winch. I have a 2000# SUPERWINCH, wired just as directions show, and the battery was dead the 1st time about a month after the winch install.
So I guess my real question is has anyone ever had any problems like this before? and does anyone have any real advice on how to test for the draw. Any help would be awsome! thanks to everyone.
