If it were me, the next step would be to disconnect the fusible links one at a time until the current draw goes away. Report back with the fusible link # and we can track it down.

Whatever it is, it's consuming 28-30 watts...quite significant.

I told ya! Lol however no luck Like last time. I removed every fuse completely from the fuse box and even one big one in the back trunk by the relays back there. And I disconnected amps, radio plug, even my Bluetooth obd2 adaptor... I yanked all easilly accessible bulbs despite being led in the trunks and door panels.

One more thing, idk if this is significant but if I were to shut everything off, the dome light led/mood light stays on 24/7. Also, I'm not sure if this is normal but all my lights in the cabin are led. Like the light switches and cluster and all that, well they stay ok... Even when they are off if you're in dark area you can hardly see but there is light.
