Battery draining - Fuse identified

[N4C5S]

My battery has been draining every 2 days or so.....

Battery is new and alternator was replaced with a GM unit several months ago due to another problem.

I unhooked the neg batt cable and inserted a test light....Glowed brightly....I started pulling fuses / alternator connections and pulling the PWR ACC fuse/circuit breaker caused the light to dim quite a bit.

The manual lists this circuit as providing power for power seats and power door lock relay. Both of these items seem to function normally.

Any ideas on where I go from here?

I know this is not the correct forum but my 81 is doing the same thing. Takes about a week and the battery is dead. I've posted here so I can get the email alerts to see how people respond to perhaps help me identify MY problem....

Battery drain, power seats and locks

This is really reaching, but try a new relay. I replaced one (NAPA) and it was less than $10
BTW did the test light stop glowing when you pulled the relay, or just dim a lot?

I actually did not pull the relay itself. I pulled the circuit breaker in the fuse panel and it dimmed quite a bit. I'll get the manual and try to find the actual relay.....thanks! Any other suggestions?

I should also mention (just for posterity) that this pertains to my 85 L98 (not a Z06!).....

Relay, Circuit Breaker

Actually, it could be either the relay or circuit breaker causing a leak. My first bet would be the circuit breaker.
