i had the same problem with my 88 9ks, i had a 1amp drain for about a year and couldn't find it. i pulled all the fuses while having someone do a reading (make sure if you do this you keep the doors closed to keep the interior light off.. or you'll have to start over) i actually got stuck (the first time i'd ever been stuck in my saab!!) over an hour from my home.. had to trust the car with a mechanic i didn't know! (another first for my saab) i needed the ECU replaced, and in the process the mechanic found an inline fuse that had corroded.. hopefully your drain is nowhere near as complicated, but my advice is to go through checking each fuse, make sure your battery cables and contacts are in good shape, and if worse comes to worse you can get a battery disconnect pretty cheaply online. there are some helpful documents on the townsend imports site that can help you find a short too! good luck!!
