Mini-update and more questions:
Not the front and rear trunk lights. Tested both of those with the voltmeter at the light socket, no voltage across either of those with the trunks closed.
I attempted to test all the fuses but was not successful. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I unhooked the negative battery cable and set my meter up between the negative terminal and free cable end. This gives me a voltage reading as expected of about 12.8V with the car off. However, nothing in my car works with this setup (i.e. even the lights don't turn on). What am I doing wrong? Is it my meter (it's a cheapie radioshack meter)?
Now with regards to the starter, can this be due to the starter? I don't see why the starter would be drawing any current with the car off.
