I have a similar problem right now on two vehicles! I discovered the problem I have is with the after-market radio!It is wired into the electrical system some way I do not understand. May I suggest a temporary solution while you continue to ask until you find the real problem? Please remove the bulbs of the interior lights, unless there are too many of them or you can't find a way to do that. ALSO, if you will disconnect the battery each time you are finished driving, and re-connect it when you are ready to drive again, that will save you a lot of frustration while you are waiting to find the fix.I think you should not see a spark when you touch the un-hooked battery cable to the battery. If you do, the short is still there.

Apply power to battery to remove key. It's happened to me many times. Good Luck
