The latest from the dealership service shop working on this is they've
found a malfunctioning relay. The relay controlling raising/lowering the
windows is permanently in the on position. This is being replaced with a
part being shipped in today. 

Could this cause such a drain ? I have my doubts, but we shall see over
the next few days and weeks. I guess the recent behavior I've seen may
not tell the whole story regarding the rate of current drain. The batery
power may well already have been depleted, thus seeming to be drained in
2 hours. I almost hope they find something else.
