Yet another battery drain post

I've been fighting a 1/2 Amp short for weeks -- battery drains overnight. All fuses have been pulled one at a time. After isolating the fusible links, the drain is on AM1, which goes directly to the center bolt on relay block 2. Disconnecting the black/blue wire (BL) from RB2, a lamp between the + battery post and the center post shows the short with all the fuses on RB2 removed and the BL wire removed. The EWD shows a white wire going from the center post of RB2 to Splice Block E9 and coming back on three white wires to feed the fuses on RB2. The location diagram would lead one the think it's in plain sight just aft of the battery.

I've looked all over (including removing the battery) for the splice point E9 in order to isolate the white wires but unsuccessful so far. Anyone know where E9 is before I tear into the harness to trace wires?

Have you checked your ignition switch as well?
Mine was bad and it drained the battery randomly.

I haven't pulled the ignition switch, but I've verified that the switch illuminator doesn't stay on.
(edit) The AM1 fusible link feeds the ignition switch through the 50A AM1 fuse, which I did pull, so the switch is not the culprit. Thanks for the feedback.

Results: Just to close this out, there is no splice junction box/connector designated as E9. If you cut away the protective sheathing around the wiring harness leading to the RB2 fuse block, you will find white wires just joined and taped inside the harness. In the process of opening the harness, the short disappeared. No amount of wiggling could make it come back, so I'm calling it good for now!
