2011 Explore in shop, electrical problem

Wife calls me on Friday after work and says her truck is totally dead, will not start and no lights at all, so I head over there and YUP, she is right, nothing. So I jump the truck and drive it home, put battery on charger and let it charge overnight, my charger will shut off when fully charged. Wake up in the am and it is still charging.

I take the truck to the dealer at 8am, they get me right in and say they are going to run a complete electrical test which will take about 2-2.5 hrs, and it does. They say truck has a continuous 2 amp drain, they start pulling fuses but cannot find it, after they continue to work on it till 11:30, they tell me they will need to contact Ford on Monday and send me on my way in a rental.

Truck is a 2011 Explore, with 8K miles on it, purchased in 6/2011.

Anyone else come across this?

We have been really happy with it since purchase, hope they find an actual problem and it is not an Electoral Gremlin they will keep showing itself…
