Check the AC clutch relay.  The contacts have a habit of welding closed and
the AC clutch uses about 2 amps.  This happened to my van about 1-1/2 years
ago.  Luck I didn't damage AC from compressor turning with out radiator and
evaporators fans running.  Problem caused me to get stuck with a dead
battery a few times until I realized what was happening.
