If you have a volt-ohmmeter with current measuring capability, see if you can check for current draw with everything turned off. It should be less than 50 milliamperes (0.050 amperes). This level of current draw represents the current for the clock and the remote key receiver. If it's more than that, you have something on somewhere that shouldn't be on or you have a short somewhere. Pull fuses one at a time until you isolate the rogue current draw. Then you will have to figure out what on that circuit is causing the problem. The list of fuses in the owners manual will narrow it down for you.
Keep in mind it could be something simple like an interior light left on, or it could be some internal problem in a component.
This stuff isn't rocket science and using a logical approach you might be able to at least narrow down the problem so you aren't paying a technician $100 an hour to do something you can do yourself. If you start the process but still can't find the problem, at least be sure to tell the technician what you have done so he doesn't duplicate everything that has already been done.
