It's simple. If you want to find your 'leak', so to speak, remove one fuse at a time, only the ones that have power when the key is off, put the probes on each contact and check for current flow.

If you have an autoranging ammeter, don't worry about the setting. If you have an analog meter, put the red lead on the battery or powered side and the negative on the other. Current will flow through the meter and give an indication. Proceed slowly and methodically and the answer will appear.

Check the trunk light first, the switch may be bad.

Good luck and report back.
