OP.
Fully charge battery. Only put negative cable on. Tap positive to the battery pole. It should spark a little if there's an amp draw. Start unplugging each component one by one while doing the tap trick until there is no longer a spark. Now you've found the component that's causing the draw. Not everyone has an amp meter so this is a safe way to test.

That is a good way also.
Rather him find the cause than throw money at parts.
If he has an electrical PTO that not cheap.

Battery Aids now that is funny.
Almost as funny as when a unit that came in had a stuck solenoid. The owner told me her unit was haunted.
