Believing something is OK is not the same as knowing it is OK.
When you trouble shoot something if you do not go down the list of possible stuff starting with the most likely suspects what every you guessed was OK ends up being the cause of the problem.
It is normal for the GP Relay Fuse and that flat Wire in the Relay to have Voltage all of the time.
From what I have read on the Forums these drains are most often the Alternator (slow drain) or the Glow Plug Relay (fast drain).
If you had a Volt/Ohm/Multimeter You could tell us more.
Test light Bulbs have a resistance that needs to be overcome before they light.
Has the Battery been charged and load tested? Or swap in a know good Battery.
If the Charging Light is glowing with the Engine running it only indicates you are not charging; not that you have a drain somewhere.
That could even be simple things like a bad Ground or slipping Belts.
