spent many hours with the digital volt/ammeter, pulling fuses, relays, circuit breakers with no answer. My solution was a Sears Security Battery. It will allow the battery to drain to a certain level (just below 12 volts) and then it cuts out. Press the clicker to reactivate the battery and you can start the car (you have to reset the clock and the pre-sets on the radio - if a stock radio you may need the code!). The other things it does is that you can use the battery as the theft deterrent, when clicked to set the security mode the car will start and run for a few seconds 3 times after which the battery is turned off, you must use the clicker to reset it. Over the winter there is a storage mode, no more lifting the battery out of the car! If you find the source of the draw let us all know. BTW if you leave the key in the ignition that will increase the draw from the battery!
