What is your question?
My AC Delco battery will be 3 years old in September. I've had to recharge it a few times now after it has sat for 2-3 days. I have another vehicle which gets used most. I've checked the key-off battery drain with a digital ammeter. It hovers at 3.05 amps. I pulled all of the fuses in the back fuse box under the rear seat except #1 & #2 and have determined the following: 1.0 amp to fuse #21(audio), 1.0 amp to fuse #64(Electronic Level Control), 0.5 amp to fuse #30(Instrument Panel), 0.2 amp to fuse #37(HVAC Battery). This leaves approx. 0.3 amp unaccounted for. What should be normal amps for these fuses with the KEY-OFF? UPDATE 6/21 - ELC draw has disappeared - forgot to check the current drain amps - before tapping the ELC relay to potentially clear a stuck relay - but now down to 2.05 amps drain.

A year ago I bought a replacement battery for my 2003 LeSabre because I figured it would die soon since it was seven years old. My replacement is fine; it came from Advance and cost about $130. However, the original battery still shows a green color in the inspection window. I would suggest that you remove bulbs from places where they SHOULD be off when you cannot see them. The trunk light and the glove box are two places where you cannot see if the lamp bulb went off when the doors were closed. I am curious as to why you would find ANY current through the places you mention when the ignition is off / key is out of the ignition switch. On my Custom, the only draw should be the little red security light on the dash.
