It also makes a noise when disconnecting the battery but it isn't too loud and dies off in a few seconds.

I doubt it's ever been changed. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90459-help-somethings-killing-my-battery/page/2/#findComment-1542847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start in the engine bay fuse box and start pulling fuses till you loose the current draw. I'm wondering if the high pitched alarm you heard when the battery was flat was a relay in the bem buzzing due to low voltage?
