I've search from threads, single posts, numerous of other threads, hell, even non car related threads on this stupid issue i have of mine.

The infamous Parasitic Draw!

We all hate this and these cars are notorious of this so with that being said. I've already factored out most.

Starter is good
Alternator is good
Check all grounds
Checked lose connections.
75amp alt fuse check.

Did the whole test light procedure and seen that i do have a draw. I go to my kick panel and pull out the "Room Lamp" fuse - and the light dims. So right there tells me that the draw has to be there. But question is, what all does the room lamp fuse run into; i've gathered - clock, dome light (room lamp) the front two dome lights & radio.

Question i have is; if you have no draw will the light be off or will it still be on only dim?

Im getting irritated on trying to find this and still no luck. I have an aftermarket stereo - but i even disconnected that radio harness and the light didnt dim. ECU disconnect - stayed on. Checked all fuses & relays, stays on. Only room lamp fuse dims.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
