Default Drained battery.

My daughter's 2000 Kia sportage is having electrical problems. We replaced a short lived battery a few weeks a go (under warranty). Yesterday the battery was down again. When I hooked up the charger, the horn would blow when I opened the driver side door. I pulled the horn fuse and charged the battery until late yesterday. The car started at that time. This morning the battery was dead again. Any ideas what circuit or component(s) would cause the horn to blow? There appears to be something else on that's draining the battery as well. I plan to check the amp draw and start pulling fuses tonight.
