You didnt explain very well, so I am assuming some things.
So you have the negative cable unhooked and a test light completing the circvuit, and it's lit up? If that's what you are doing, the light should go out wit a jumper cable bypassing your test light.
You need to remove fuses one at a time while watching the light, when it goes out you will know what circuit the problem is on. A bad alternator can cause a draw also, so unhook the wires to it to check.
