Default There is an obvious drain

Some wire in the wiring harness is touching a ground, and nothing short of examining the entire harness will do. The only alternative is to go through the fuse box one at a time and place a volt-ohmmeter between the positive side of the battery and the battery terminal (after it has been disconnected) You will see the draw on the battery. Now, one at a time, remove a fuse and observe the meter. You may get lucky and find the culprit. Otherwise, you will need to follow each wire to a bare spot that is touching the chassis.
