If the Dealer can't figure it out, what am I supposed to do? They should be ashamed- that is a fairly new Ford product, and you should not be having troubles like this- what to do? Take it to another Ford dealer- maybe you can find one that has a competent service department- if THEY can't figure it out, contact the regional Ford rep-

If it kills the battery in an hour the current draw should be very easy to locate and repair.

Hi Jim. You've probably got this figured out by now. I have a 2013 MK Z which ran thru 2 batteries but not as quickly as yours. My rear headliner lamps stay on. I think this drains the battery. They are the round circular ones that are supposed to go off automatically.
