Angry 08 dodge van changed clockspring and now battery drains.

I hand an 08 Dodge Grand Caravan. A mechanic changed the clockspring and now the battery dies. I have already replaced the battery and that is not the problem. Does anyone know of anything that could be causing the battery to drain? I know it has to do with him changing the clockspring because I had no problem with the battery before that.

Start pulling fuses one by one while monitoring battery drain until you find the culprit. Any decent shop should know how to do this.
