My 1989 S2 battery goes dead in about 3 days. I checked the battery drain and found it was about 20 milliamps. When I remove Fuse 1 this drops to 8 milliamps and the battery does not go dead. Fuse 1 controls the sun visor and the rear hatch release. Disconnecting these 2 motors does not effect the battery drain; it is still 20 milliamps. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?

For a good battery, a 20 ma drain is insignificant. A battery should be able to supply that load for several weeks.

Is is possible that something else may be draining the battery?
Also, you have not given us any details about the type or condition of the battery.
