Default Battery draining at night

I’m having battery problem it’s draining at night it’s a new battery and alternator, but what I’ve noticed is the door locks keep clicking first in reverse then twice when I put it in drive, could a door sensor be causing this, also I had the codes reset it stopped the clicking for about a day then back to clicking it’s a 2001 gs430 thanks for you help

Bad door lock actuator. Repair that first and then see if the battery drain issue perssists.
