Default Option fuse

I have a 1992 Honda Civic. Something is draining the battery. I have put a meter in the positive lead from the battery. I am measuring 1.5 amp draw with everything switched off, doors shut etc.

In the under hood fuse box I have removed a fuse one at a time. When I remove the option fuse the current draw drops to zero, but the car won't start!

Any ideas what the option fuse does?

So, check if anything is plugged into option plug #1 on the left side of the underdash fuse box.

If it's #36 then that's a major fuse!! Start narrowing it down by pulling fuses in the under-dash fuse box. Your service manual (you'd better have one!) will show you all the things #36 is connected to.

You have a loose ground somewhere. They don't come loose, you or previous owner may have not bolted it down.
