Proper diagnosis, measuring current draw, determining which circuit is drawing power, and how much. Also, a test to ensure that the vehicle goes into sleep mode, which it won't do if there is too high a draw upon shutdown.
Any circuit in the vehicle can cause it, from the FSR, to the video control unit, to the built-in telephone circuitry, etc. It isn't a nasty problem, it just requires basic diagnosis, and that diagnosis must be hands on. Sorry, can't do more than that over the internet, but hopefully it points you to the proper steps.
