Sir
Have a shop you trust check the heat of relays and major appliances that
could be stuck on, using temp probes.
If that doesn't work, take the time to disconnect battery, link an
ammeter between battery post & battery lead, and start pulling fuses.
Start with the fuse for the motronic, and continue until you get a
"zero-down" on the offensive circuit.
Once you're identified the offensive circuit, disconnect all appliances
(one-at-a-time) until you've found the culprit.
Before starting this process, do a good "battery service", including
cleaning of the posts & clamps.
