When I pulled each fuse, the current dropped to 37 milliamps when I pulled the courtesy light - glovebox light fuse.
I played with the glovebox light switch and got inconsistant results. Eventually the light did not work. To hedge my bets, I pulled the glovebox and unplugged the light and switch.
The current now reads 13 milliamps.
One interesting thing that I observed - If you shut off the courtesy lights the car drew 37 mA, If I switched the courtesy lights to cone on when the door is opened the current dropped to 13 mA when the lights shut off.
I am going to have the charging system and the battery tested because I agree with the posters that think a good battery should be able to survive a 150 mA drain.
The car did start fine this morning even though I played with different current readings for quite a while.
BTW - while I had the glovebox out I took the door apart. If you have the dreaded glovebox-won't-open-syndrome, it looks like you could drill a 1/8" hole in the center of the door, 1" down then insert a small probe and open the door weither it is locked or not.
