Hey guys I'm working on Bobbies 91 Honda Accord trying to track down a key-off slow draw and can't find it pulling fuses either inside or under the hood. Can there be "other" draw sources that don't go through the fuse boxes..?? The alternator is brand new and so was the battery about 6 months ago but something is draining it overnight at about 3.1 amps. ??? Any ideas where I might look next(when the sun comes out)...?? Bobbies gonna sell this and buy something newer but the car runs pretty good so I'd like Lauren to have it for work if I can find the problem.

Alt can definitely short and cause it. Ive also seen corrosion pull down.
The only other thing is, did you pull out the screw in mains or larger fuses?
I could see the ignition switch also being a possible culprit
I did pull those bigger fuses and no change on the meter. Guess to see if it's the alternator I'd pull the charge line off to check? As far as the ignition I thought there was a fuse on that circuit. I'll have to check again.
Pull all the fuses and fusible links too and don't put them back in, then the alternator. A test light in series with the culprit will help find the actual place of shorting/grounding... If for instance two wires from two separate circuits we're pinched and grounded then pulling each fuse and putting it back in you wouldn't necessarily see a drop in load.. maybe
