Power drain, found the problem

Well I've had a power drain for a few months and finally isolated it down using "Franklin2"'s ideas in muliple post. Thanks Dave F!!!

Pulled the fuses one at a time using the light and negitive battery disconnect that he puts in most post and when I pulled the #2 fuse (cluster), the light dimmed to almost nothing. Amp draw was 4.5 prior and now .03 with that fuse pulled, light barely lights up at all.

Time to call the dealership on Monday and make an appt (extended warranty so there is a $50 deductable). Cheapest cluster online is over $200. They wanted big bucks to trouble shoot the problem and I know the service manager so I'm sure I can tell them were to start, fuse #2...
