Default Chasing down parasitic battery drain

Hi, I'm new to the forum and looking forward to trading knowledge about TTs. In the near term, I'll be more of a consumer of knowledge than I will be a provider of knowledge, but hopefully that will change over time.


Recently, I've been waking up to a car with a dead battery. Since the battery is original to my 2008 car, I figured that the battery was due for replacement. I took it to my friendly battery place and they verified that the battery was indeed weak and ready for replacement. So, out with the old battery and in with a new one.


Unfortunately, the following day, the new battery was just as dead as the old one. I connected an ammeter between the positive post and the positive connector and even after removing every fuse, I'm still seeing a drain.


Does anyone know what could be causing this? The drain did reduce as I removed fuses, but it never went to zero.


Any ideas?
