Default Current Leak in 93 Corrado SLC

My battery runs down after a few days idle. The battery has been
replaced. The alternator and regulator checked okay. The mechanic
measures a current leak that does not go away as each fuse and relay is
pulled but does go away when the entire fuse panel is disconnected.

Any thoughts?

A corrosion track somewhere in the fuse panel directly to ground.

Default Current Leak in 93 Corrado SLC

Any other electrical issues?
Doors that lock or unlock by themselves?
Windows that go up by themselves?

Or like pfjw said, some corrosion issue with the fuse panel or wiring or
relays or switches or radio or trunk light or glove box light.
Pull out ALL of the fuses and relays to see if the drain still exists.
If no drain, replace fuses and relays one by one looking for a drain, since
there might be more than one drain! ;-)
