I do things the "technician" way: I measure the current like this guy did and logically track down the source. But I gotta admit - if your battery is running down and you KNOW you have current flowing (that is, its not just a tired battery), I'd bet the chances are, for about 6-8 years now, the alarm siren is your problem.
It's getting to where, when I had a drain issue, I went for the siren as soon as I saw the current level, which was around 200ma. In my case, it was the alternator, but I would have almost BET it was the siren and in hIS case, since it's fuse 9, I'd certainly go there.
