For some reason my celica always seems to drain my battery when I park it and dont use it overnight. After a jump it fires right up and have no further issues. What I have done when its completely dead I jump start it, drive it for like an hour and let the alternator charge the battery up. When I go to park it overnight, I remove the main 60A fuse in the engine bay and leave it like that. The next day It fires right up no problems, but if I leave the fuse in place next morning, starter just starts clikkkin, cant even crank the car. I have looked for something thats draining the power but cant find anything, I dont even have a stereo in place. Any help appreicated.

I'm suspecting a low battery as others said but also your gen may be not charging sufficiently. Enough to not making the battery light comes on but not enough to maintain your battery. Another thing... make sure your battery light comes on when you turn the ignition, if not, remplace the bulb cuz when the bulb is blown, the gen does not recharching the battery at all, as stupid as may sound...
