Thanks everyone for suggestions. Today I have tried disconnecting the convenience control module (CCM) (under the back seat), the radio amplifiers, and the vacuum motor for door locks.

Before I started, the door locks and radio did not work. Also I found that the rear door switch and trunk switch would activate the dome lamp as well as the front doors, but the rear dome lamp would not activate. I also found that the trunk switch and hood switch would cause a 200ma drain to occur (with the trunk lamp disconnected and dome lamp switched off). After closing both switches the 200ma drain goes away and I'm back to the 25-30ma drain.

After removing each connection to the CCM I checked the meter and 200ma drain remained. Then I removed the vacuum pump connections, no change. Then I removed each of the two amplifiers, no change. (note the antenna has always been removed).

Next, I removed fuse C and fuse 9, then put them back in. Voila, 200ma drain goes away, door locks work (after plugging in pump). Power seats, sunroof, dome lamp work. Power windows do not work, should they work with CCM disconnected?

So the question remains is what could pull 200ma? Not a bulb, has to be a controller right? Could it be the anti-theft unit? I had it unplugged last weekend and there was no change.

For now I will leave CCM disconnected for a while to see if the weird condition comes back (door locks stops working).
