Hi, I'm Dan.

I've attached a repair guide for battery drain. The best advice I can give is to go slow and test every circuit one by one until you find it. Hooking a test light on the battery terminal like in the repair guide and pulling each fuse one by one is the best method.
I've also attached the procedure from Ford for the parasitic battery drain test.
