Default Electrical?

For the past several months my 2005 350z has been losing the battery charge. I have a new alternator, new starter, and new battery. If it sits more than a day the battery is dead. 2 times that it's been dead I hear a clicking sound coming from the arm rest where the switches for the window,locks, and rear view mirror toggle are. Is there a common issue with these cars leaking some electrical somewhere? Please help- I'm desperate!

No - this is not common. You gave a parasitic draw somewhere.

What aftermarket components have been installed?

no aftermarket components added. 1 mechanic I took it to said he traced the draw to the gps and he cut the wire to the gps, but it's still happening. The only clue I have is the clicking sound I've heard in the armrest on 2 occasions. Could one of the switches- windows, locks, and rear view mirror- be stuck? I've never heard that clicking sound unless the battery has been completely dead....
