Check the battery disconnect switch. I had one fail and had similar symptoms.

In cases like this, I try to go to where I last did some work, which in this case was replacing the start battery.
Back at the battery positive you probably had a couple of small wires attached there too. Look around real good for a wire that may have dropped out of sight or maybe broke. Those 2 wires feed the engine-ECM
and the trans-ECM, each wire should have an inline fuse back there somewhere.

I can’t quite understand why the battery would have continued to flatten unless the starter kept a draw on it somehow. If a new battery didn’t light things up it should be a fuse or the disconnect switch. Just follow the cables.
