Sat nav light staying on ( permanently?) is not correct. I presume you can see this from outside the car when it's locked.
You could try un-plugging the satnav unit and see if it has any affect on the battery.

Yes, just disconnect it at the unit itself in the rear compartment. I "think" the radio should still operate as normal.

It just slides forward in the bracket, there may be a lock nut on the bracket but I can't remember at the moment.
Nothing complicated about it it's self explanatory when you look at it.

At a constant drain of about 5W over 3 days it would certainly knock a hole in your battery's ability to start the car.
Faulty satnav is a common cause of battery drain.
Is it possible for you to leave the satnav disconnected for the rest of the week to see what happens?
