A bulb left on, on the other hand, even like a glovebox light will be a couple amps, so 2000Ma or so, not 125Ma. (reading over 1000Ma you typical can find, a light is on or you'll notice something is still on, radio or whatever) Yes you do want to wait awhile with a 140 for all the control units to go beddy-bye, close up everything, get the trunk latch tripped so the car "thinks" the trunk is closed and locked, then "sneak" the neg cable off with the ammeter inline like you have been doing, and wait a good 1/2 hour for everything to go into sleep mode, see what it is after that. Oh before diconnecting the neg cable you even want to lock the doors, you can leave a window open though, just in case.

That's what I'm getting at-take a screwdriver and trip the trunk latch, wait a while and see if that 100ma dissipates. Try to remember not to slam the trunk shut before you again open the latch.
