Ground in non fused circuit?

I have ground that does not go away when the fuses are removed one at a time.

1995 S350 W140

I put a verified charged to 100% brand new battery in the car last night. This morning it was down to 60%.

I recharged the battery and:

I connected the positive terminal of the recharged to 100% brand new battery to the cars positive cable like normal.

I connected my multimeter in series between the negative cable on the car and the negative terminal on the battery.

With the multimeter set to DC Amps it is reading 4.4 amps.

Then I went through the front and back fuse boxes and pulled each fuse one at a time, replacing the fuses after verifying that the current did not change.

Is there a non-fused load in here that may be the problem?

What do I check next?

Should I pull all of the fuses? (Could there be multiple grounds? Shouldn't I have seen at least a partial change in current while checking each fuse one at a time if there are multiple gounds?)

Help!

-Jim
