1. Have you had or have you got a leak into the trunk/boot of the car? If so look at the micro power module.
2. More likely there is a lead connected to the + HT lead on the battery which tells the vehicle how much power is in the battery. When it is low the car, when switched off shuts down items that it would keep running. If this lead is damaged this may be your problem.
Good luck!

Two things:
1. Have you had or have you got a leak into the trunk/boot of the car? If so look at the micro power module.
2. More likely there is a lead connected to the + HT lead on the battery which tells the vehicle how much power is in the battery. When it is low the car, when switched off shuts down items that it would keep running. If this lead is damaged this may be your problem.

I had the same problem.
the car wouldn't go into sleep mode and would discaharge the battery over night.
2 week later it was found to be the 'body control uint' keeping the car up all night.
Hope this helps.
