Guess will be best to start with what I've done. After discovering this, I fully charged the battery and left it unplugged overnight. To make sure it wasn't a dead cell in the battery. The battery didn't drop in voltage overnight. So then I hooked up the battery and unplugged the radio fuse, thinking maybe that was it. Went out today and the battery was dead again. Charged it up again, and brought out the mult-meter. Tested current draw on all the fuses in the fuse panel in the engine bay, and the fuse panel in the driver side dash. Nothing showed a current draw. To make sure I was doing it right I turned on the car and got a reading off the ECU fuses and turned on headlights etc... and got readings off each when they were turned on. So, I know I tested everything right. I'm at a complete loss here. Is there another fuse box somewhere? It's a 95 ST manual. Whatever is doing it is pretty severe. Drained the battery of over a volt in under 20 hours. All interior lights are set to off, and doors/hatch securely shut also. Any insight is much appreciated.

I have all those switched to the off position, just turn them on when needed. I'll know more tomorrow, hopefully.
