Disconnect the positive battery cable and place an Ammeter between it and the battery postive terminal with the ignition off I.e. in reverse, key out). see howmuch current is flowing. I remember doing this and seeing the clock ticking, should be tens of milliamps. If you see substantial current flowing like tenths of amps, start pulling fuses one at a time until the current reading drops substantially. That will narrow it down quite a bit as to which circuit is leaking. It helps to have a Bentley to find the specific components and wire colors related to each fused circuit.
