Battery drain

2000 Excursion 7.3 diesel Drains new batteries in three days. with both neg posts hooked up, when you put on the first positive cable to the positive post, without the other positive hooked up, i get a pretty sharp spark. then when you hook up the second battery, no spark. unhooked all fuses and relays one by one and still arced the same. unhooked the starter then alternator and got the spark when touching the first positive cable to positive post. Obviously there is a significant draw. How do I find it? Any ideas? thanks
