Is the Retained Accessory Power feature still working after you turn the key off? If not, that could be the problem. There's a relay for RAP, but I don't recall if it's serviceable or built into the interior fuse panel.

Default More info

I bought the car in June from the original owner it only has 55000 miles on it. It was an elderly man and he said the radio had just stopped working so they thought it may have been the fuse. When I when I 1st got it something was draining the battery overnight every night every night and I ended up reading something online that said take the fuse out of the radio so I did that and it stopped draining the battery. Had the fuse's checked, it wasn't that. Was told the radio needed to be reset by a dealership so I went there this past Thursday and they got it to power up it wouldn't at 1st but they don't know how but it powered up and they set it. It worked from Thursday to Saturday morning and then just stopped. When it stopped working yesterday I didn't take the fuse out and it didn't drain the battery overnight so I have no idea what it could be. Any help would be appreciated

When it worked for those couple of days, the speakers in the driver door apparently have a loose wire cause they cut in and out. Could that stop it from working?

I swaped them, no radio but the cluster display said Battery Saver Active. It's never said that before. I switched them back out and now it wouldn't turn over. I just jumped it and it started right up.
