Question regarding the dreaded battery drain issue

When I find the issue, I will post back.

**EDIT**

Looking at the wiring diagrams, it appears to me that nothing else is on the circuit in question but the phone system. Since we don't have any installed phone, I am tempted to just leave the fuse out, and call it "good"

What do you think?

Thanks again!

I pulled fuse #74.. Problem solved.

I do not have the factory phone option either and I can't find anything else on this circuit so its now removed. No dead battery in over a week.

GREAT FIND!! Thanks for the help.
