open the right side of the trunk compartment. Look at the battery and then there should be a clear hole with a color. check the color. u may need to fill the battery up with some dihydrogen monoxide

did you use a multimeter to see if there is a current draw on the battery while the car is off?
looking at your sig, did you rule out your stereo equipment?

Are you sure that the new battery was fully charged? Have you driven a long haul?
