This might explain battery drainage (I left the fuse out to check) but I still have no charge indicator light with the ignition 'on' before start up.
Is this something where the "diagnostic plug" would come into play if I took it to the dealer?(I hate to do that, I never have)

Am I correct in reading that
with all fuses removed and
with the alternator disconnected you are reading 88 milliamps?
Please confirm that both the positive output cable and the ground cable are disconnected from the alternator during the aforementioned tests.
There seems to be something amiss. With no fuses in the panel, the leak starts looking more and more like the alternator. Please explain exactly how the alternator was disconnected.
The diagnostic plug is unlikely to provide any assistance for this issue and the dealer will only perform a walletectomy.
