Default battery drain while car is off x.x please help

ok, got a drain, 90 da, car off... test light on, im hoping some electronic genious will help me.
there is a backfeed through the radio i think. i unplug the radio and the light stays on, plug the radio and turn the keys all the way and the light goes off... then turn the keys off and the light stays off.... but! turn them on and off and the light's back!

the fuse for the radio makes no diff. and the fuse for the clock, cig lighter, and dome light is out.... when i turn my dome light off(doesnt work anyway) the clock comes on... turn on... and clock comes on... idk if this has anything to do with it though.

basically i have no dea what it is... the alternater is new and so is the battery... which holds its charge.
im stumped :/

are you using a multimeter? If not use one with the meter on Amp and hooked it up to the battery and see what the reading is. The amperage should be pretty low with the key off. Then you can pull fuse as you check the reading when the read drops down then you found fuse that powers the draw and can look at the schematics and trace back to what it power.

Which light stays on when you unplug radio? does the car start after sitting overnight?
