Default battery drain

hi all i'm having problems with the battery going flat,it only lasts 3 to 4 days.
the car isnt driven in the week just the weekends.
i'v brought a new battery but the problem is still there,i'v done the fuse pulling test and found that if i pull the clock/room fuse the drain is gone,has any one got any ideas what is cauing the drain? i know that the fuse is for the clock and interior lights,i'v checked all the lights and there all out and i'v pulled the clock out but the drain is still there.
dose the fuse do any other jobs as when i pull it out i carnt set the alam .
i'v got a 2001 wrx

I'll check the heater later.what's the security outside temp?. If you could check for others that would be great thanks for your help.

Basically the outside temp circuit that shows the temp on your clocks and the security system, there is a couple others will look them up for you.

Could be the drain from any alarms / tracker systems you have on the car, they aren`t ment to be much but if theyre slightly higher than usual and your battery is older it can cause this to happen. Trickle charger in the garage was my answer.
