Always remember that if you power the car up, it takes time for the modules to hibernate so:

• Turn key off.
• REMOVE KEY from ignition.
• Disconnect battery cable, insert ammeter
• Close doors and trunk lid.
• Observe current reading, it will be as high as 350ma
• WAIT 90 seconds.
• Observe current reading - after the 90 seconds, you should see no more than .055 amp (55ma).

If you see more than 55ma, start pulling fuses until you find out where the current is going. Always make SURE the dome light switch is set either to "normal" (dome and trunk lights go out in about 20 seconds) or "off" (disables dome and trunk lights). But STILL, you have got to wait 90 seconds - the various modules in the car take time to hibernate.
