So I changed the alt on the car thinking that was the problem, old one put out 14.0 volts new/used one puts out 14.5. So with the doors closed I am getting a .24 amp draw, started pulling fuses and when you pull the 15 amp interior light fuse the amp draw goes to .01. Any one have any ideas. Hood lamp is disconnected permantly, trunk light goes out and door swithches shut the lights off.
 
Have you checked that the glove box and center console lamps go off when the lid-activated switches are pressed?
 
well after disconnecting the glove box, both door switches, keyless and illuminated entry module still had the draw.

Then I accidently set my flashlight on the arm console between the seats and shut the door and magically the draw went down to .01. Pulled the flashlight back off and bam .26. Looks like my lid is cracked just enough not to make the switch, the light was warm from being on for 2 days. Looks like I just install my spare lid or pull the light bulb.

Thanks for the replies, hopefully this will solve the problem
