Default Rear defrost issue

So I bought a 93 lx last friday and didnt have any issues with the battery for the first few days. On Monday I decided to check all the fuses and a couple were of the wrong amps and a couple were missing. I replaced all with correct ones. After that, my battery began dying everyday. Long story short I traced it back to the rear defrost fuse and pulled it. Now the battery keeps charge and car works fine. Obviously I cant use the rear defrost though until I figure it out. Any thoughts on where I can start? Could it be a bad fuse? Any suggestions on an attack point would be great! Thanks!

Do you happen to know if there is a ground anywhere on it that may be bad?

Trace your wires and check for bare wire touching metal you could be having a short somewhere.
