Put an ammeter in series with the battery ground lead then pull fuses one by one and see which one makes a difference. Report results. If one of the fuses stops the drain the remaining tracking job will be easier than if it does not. Don't forget fuses above the main panel, and ones at the bottom of the driver's B pillar.

Once we know the total drain and hopefully what fuse is powering it, we can proceed from there.

Yours, David
