Hi

Not a good idea to keep removing a battery terminal , not sure what you are saying when you say , " remove the neutral wire " on a car it is Possitive and Negative , which one do you mean , but in any case  if that is what you have done ,then there is no way  the battery could drain , there must be some other leads attached when you remove the main Negative or Possitive wire .

I would check your fuse box and remove each fuse in turn to check what is using the current , there will always be a certain amount of current geting used , the CPU will use some your on board clock will use some etc ony very mininium amounts though .

cheers

Just another note , when you leave the car for a few days and disconnect the battery do you leave the bonnet up ! , if you do the car will not go to sleep and the ecu etc will still be working in the back ground , I think a scew driver will do the job if you still want to leave the bonnet open .

cheers

Hi!
 
This forum is for repairing electronic goods and not for car repair. Your question is very general. Nobody will give you a clear answer. Probably one of some circuit draws too much current or it is not able to switch completely off or step in suspend (sleep) mode. Usually the car audio (head unit, amplifier) or the alarm system is faulty. Unplug the car radio (or other audio system) and try without it. If the issue persists unplug the alarm system and try again. If you can measure the current drawn from the battery (on the main positive wire) may help you to find the issue faster.

If you disable the alarm system take care and park in the closed garage on other secure place.
 
Kind Regards
