You should see a current draw with the meter between the terminal and post then you start pulling fuses until the current draw drops.

One of the popular things that can cause this is the relay for the windows that allows them to work after you turn off the car before opening the door. So for a quick test on that turn the key off operate the window a little, then open the door and see if the window still operates.
Taz/Sam: Thanks for the info. Looks like another to-do for the weekend warrior itinerary.
