2003 Jimmy 4.3 Battery drained down every few days and had to be charged. Today the battery was dead. Replaced it.

Nothing works. No lights, no radio, no heater fan absolutely dead, except for a clicking noise from the engine compartment - right side

Check charging rate on new battery with engine running, should be 13.7 +.
if not, check alternator.
if alternator checks out, may be a drain somewhere, light on someplace, etc.

Replaced starter, alternater and battery car still drains battery. whats wrong?

First you can not test an alternator by disconnecting the battery cable. That is what we did back when cars had generators. Today you can fry the computer and alternator running the engine with the battery cable off.
Meanwhile, I would look for a fuseable link or main fuse problem. The alternator circuit may not be connected to the fuse box and battery.
