If I remember correctly there is a fan control module on that vehicle bolted to the bottom of the battery tray (under the tray). The module is approx 4 inches wide, 1 inch tall and 1 inch thick. Unplug this module and see if your battery drain goes away. These modules can get rust internally and draw power and/or they sometimes get damaged in accidents and cause these kinds of problems. Good luck!
