That's why I'm lost.

Pulling fuses isnt enough ... as it doesnt affect cabling, connectors BEFORE fuses. Finding a current draw - if the problem is always ON - is pretty straightforward basic but laborious work... following every wire/connector starting from the batt +cable: install amps gauge, then pull first, then pull next connector out ... and verify reading again. What could be more simple ?
Alas, there is about 1000connectors, smbdy has to WORK. Circuit diagram is a bonus; but dont be tricked by Haynes comic book
Knowing the draw - how many Amps - gives an idea what kind of propeller is behind it. If the shop cant even figure out that, I guess its hi time to seek another shop.
Dont let em rob u: the notorius Volvo blink troubleshooting which lasted 8 hours at stealership - was caused by hazard sw stuck in the mid position. If u have similar instant experts on this job, dont be surpri$ed.
