Ok, nano - Here are my findings.

I have a 92 onwards 440 so the fuse layout is different to the 88-91 440.

Top row of fuses didnt touch the current drain.

But one did a HUGE drop on the bottom.

Remember I was around 210-215 drain?

I removed fuse #21 and it dropped to 35-37!

So, whats on fuse 21?

The panel in my car says the following;

centr
doorlo
clock
glove
box la
radio
b+


I disconnected the clock, not that.
I removed the bulb from the glove box, not that.

So where left with the radio and centr doorlo which I think is central locking?

Ive removed fuse 21 and tried to lock the car with the fob, it locks but the LED on the dash stays lit. But all doors are locked.
I cannot set the alarm off though. Not a big deal at the moment. The central locking works fine though. I disconnected the siren it dropped from 37 to 33.5 ish also.

According to haynes, fuse 21 is the following;

Central locking system, keyhole light, glove box light, radio memory (RHD radio power supply) and clock.

So on that assumption I know its NOT the glove box light and not the clock.

So its something wrong with my radio (Its an aftermarket alpine one) and/or the central locking system.

Ill remove the radio later and see if its that. If not, then the central locking system (I think the module ?) will need replacing.
Whats the keyhole light? The green ring of light around the ignition?
Ill have a look and see if I can disconnect that to rule it out also.
