Parasitic Draw

[dragonz8]

Hey guys I posted on an old thread in here where the guy had the same problem. Figured I would make a new one where I might get a quicker response. (HMMM ENTER key won't work in here??) Ok I just bought a 98 GP GT sedan. It has a parasitic draw, using a digi meter on the 10 amp setting neg terminal disconnected I get a reading of .39 if I pull the 10 amp fuse under the hood labeled "Radio (Bat) 10" Which is fuse 29 there it drops to .03 Which I think should be ok. Car WILL run with this fuse pulled but radio, heater and a few other things will not work. In this other thread http://www.grandprixforums.net/1997-...est-15349.html A gentleman said he found schematics for said fuse. Does anyone have a set or has had this same problem with this fuse that this other member and I both had that could tell me what cause the draw on theirs?? Thanks in advance.

Ok update..... I pulled the dash, pulled radio, heater controls, cigarette lighter etc.. All wires seem good none cut or bare. With everything unplugged still a draw. Unhooked alternator just in case, still a draw. Pulled each fuse beside the glove box one at a time none of them made a difference to the draw on the battery. The ONLY fuse that makes a difference is the one under the hood number 29 I am posting a link that show the diagram for that fuse panel and its labels. as I said it is fuse 29 listed as radio bat 10 amp. Radio is stock all wires look good and this is the ONLY fuse that makes a difference on the draw. Meter on 10 amp setting with fuse it shows 0.34, when I pull that fuse it drops to 0.03 where it should be. Here is a link to the diagram.

OK in the book this is what it says for that fuse. Radio, Keyless entry, Theft shock sensor, Trip computer, HVAC Module, ABS module and Security LED. Any thoughts guys?? Please I know there are some very smart people in here. I have no idea where half this stuff is to check it. Anybody have any idea where is the best spots to check for possible problems with these or a wiring schematic for this circuit. I have an extremely bad back and it is killing me trying to find this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
