Battery Drain

The battery on my 1991 190E 2.6 keeps draining with fuse 12 in the car. When I pull fuse 12, the battery doesnt drain and I can start the car without jump starting it. What component on fuse 12 can cause this?

Carson is correct. There have been lots of threads on draining batteries. As I recall the main culprits have been: radios, aftermarket alarms, trunk lights. So you have already listed a couple contenders.
