Was getting inconsistent amp reading from my multimeter, turns out one of the lead cables is frayed. Switched to an older one and the readings are still odd.

.10 amps on 10a setting between the disconnected negative at full rest. 45 seconds or so jumps up to 3.10 amps. Fairly dramatic jump.

Pulled the alarm fuses, horn, cig lighter, doors, radio, dome lights, etc. no Change.

Alternator voltage regulator diode maybe?

Sat in the car for awhile expecting at least a mild hum from 3 amps-nothing.
