I don't understand what your problem is, nor what you are saying.

Please tell us what your car is not doing, and what it is doing.

Sounds like your battery does not work?

Perhaps something is wrong with the radio.
The problem might cause the battery to drain.

I would recharge the battery. Also find the fuse fie the radio. Remove that fuse.

It's possible that the battery will not drain after the radio fuse has been removed. If so, your problem is in the radio circuit. If not, the orole is somewhere else.

Just curious..... which country do you live in?

Thats what I'm thinking too.

Please remove the fuse.

Yes, the fuse is probably ok. It carry's electric to the relay and radio.

We want to stop draining the battery so that you can drive the car. That's more important than listening to the radio.

Removing the radio fuse is an experiment.
The experiment might help to isolate the problem.
Then you will know where not to look, as well as where you should.

I'm on the west coast of the USA. It's late here now, I'm going to bed.

Get your battery recharged, remove the radio fuse,
and let us know what happens.

Good luck.

another possible drain is the hood switch, if the switch is left open, the system I think remains somewhat active. as JVG said experiment around start withe radio, then other possible devices.

Let's confirm that your battery does not have a problem inside it. Have it tested by someone. Perhaps at an auto parts store or a mechanic.
I don't know how things work in your country.

It's possible that your car is just fine, but your battery might need to be replaced. They sometimes develop an internal short circuit which will discharge them overnight.

When I have problems like this, I start by cleaning the battery terminals and the battery cable connections.

I understand that you tested how many amps the car draws from the battery. You probably did that by removing a cable and connected a multi meter between the cable and the battery. The amount of draw you mentioned does not seem very high.

It's also possible, though not likely , that your alternator has problems.

I'd have someone test that as well.
