It is obvious that the door lock and security system are causing a drain of an additional 20mA. It is also obvious that the door locks have something to do with the drain. The car drives normally with fuse #9 removed, except that the remote locking is disabled, it has to be done manually. Any thoughts about finding the fault in the doors will be appreciated. Is the rear door has anything to do with the drain?
I would check the trunk. Passenger side in the fender for water and a potential bad ground. Also check the glovebox switch as there have been a few cases of intermittent behavior and it is tied into that same circuit
