Iv started just unplugging the battery at this point. Iv read wires and we don't see where the power is being pulled from. Or what's not turning off.

Do you think this is a body control module issue? I have an 2007 have read the bcm is not self learning for this year?

1) BCMs are not programmed, they are essentially generic.
2) I don't think the BCM is involved in this.
3) I strongly suspect the battery drain is connected to this. I'd track that down first and see where things go from there. Stop screwing around, MEASURE the current flow and find where it is going.
