Default Big time battery drain.

OK, I've read 7 threads on this. Can't find an answer yet.

Garage kept, rarely sees rain. not driven since late November. It had no problems last year.
Battery is good, fully charged. I charged it with my 2/10 amp battery charger. And it starts fine.

The battery goes flat in a day or two, in storage My ammeter reads 1.6 amp draw, with key out, doors closed!!! I have pulled every fuse, one at a time, the draw does not change.

I read about a faulty alternator diode. I didn't see a testing procedure on it.

If anyone has any thoughts on where to go from here, it would be appreciated.
