sounds like your battery is low, being drained over night. do a parasitic load test. turn the car off and pull the + battery cable, put the multimeter on the amp scale and put it inbetween the battery and the cable (in series) and measure how much current flow there is with the car off, doors closed, and key out. make sure to disable the hoodlamp if there is one. the draw should be well below an amp, .5-.25 amps, even less is better.
