Check if you find a broken module: Open hood, trunk, driver dorr to get access to the fuses. Wait 10 minutes (do not touch the car), take a multi meter with millivolt measurement and measure all fuses from the top. If you find a fuse wich has 0.1 mV or more, that is too much current on the fuse.
Next test: Open the hood, wait 10 minutes (do not touch the car) remove the negative cable at the dome passenger side. Take a multi meter, use cables with clamps and in the 20A port, reconnect the battery over the multi meter and watch it. After 5-10 minutes it should go down to 100+ mA and after 30 minutes down below 20 mA.
