Front end accident? if that's the case 95% sure it's the headlight motors trying to go up or down but cant. Pull the retractor fuse for the time being so you're battery doesnt keep draining.

Open the hood. Open the fuse box right by the driver side tower and pull out the 30A headlight motor fuse.

Yea, I agree.. there's an open current somewhere and it's destroying your charge
