Default Battery DRAIN from CTG lighter, Ctsy lamps???

I'm tring to find out how my battery went dead by testing to see what is drawing while it's off. My test light lights up while the fuse for the Ctg lighter, ctsy lamps, clock is in, then it doesn't light up with the fuse is out. I tested it with the doors closed so the ctsy lamps wouldn't be on. What could it be? The lighter? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Clint

OK... I think I have it figured out now. I believe it must of been my ignition switch was stuck.

I wasn't holding the test light on for long enough. After I held it on for long enough it turned off, just like the inside lights do. So I guess it was just that timer thing that was drawing the jucie when I would first connect the light. So it looks like all is well, :D

That timer thing is famous for causing problems. If your drain continues I would look toward it.....
