You can also unplug the power wire or on in unit fuses to see what happens. Sometimes the power to the antenna sticks on so you must unplug the power from the unit on the power antenna. The amplifier box stuck on on mine which was a 124 model. You should also use a digital voltmeter to look for the drain by testing the battery voltage after you have disconnected something and waited a while because digital is more sensitive. Chances are its a rear trunk ampliflier.
Thanks Mike. I was able to locate only one amplifier in the trunk, passenger side, located behind the plastic cover/lining and is bolted down near the gas cap on the upper right side. It was cold to the touch. I even removed the cables connector, measured drain, but no drop.

What component or device would drain at a constant rate of 75mA?
