Instead of chasing your tail, use a digital volt-ohm-ammeter and put it in series between the battery and the + terminal and actually measure the current drawn. My 03 measures about 85 milliamps. If its a lot more, have someone watch it and pull fuses one at a time. When the current goes way down, then troubleshoot the item(s) on that fuse line.

You know its quite straightforward & easy to take that apart, clean it, lubricate it, and put it back together and fix the problem. There are Youtube videos on that if you need some tips.


Of course every vehicle has it's own unique problems and I dont know exactly what the issue is with yours. I myself have had to do that to mine two or 3 times now. Its just a shaft that goes through a bushing that gets crudded up with dirt and the lubrication degrades.
