Battery drain

[Candyred89]

Hi all, for some reason my vans draining the battery whilst everything is off. The earth lead is getting "live" you can get sparks off it when connecting the battery. I've tried disconnecting all the fuses, all lights are off including interior lights. I can't seem to find what's causing the issue. Any knowledge or ideas what the cause might be would be greatly received.
With thanks

One for the electrical forum... but get a volt meter and pop each fuse in turn to see which circuit is causing the drain
