Hi @ann35887
With the engine turned off, disconnect the -ve battery cable from the battery and then connect an Ammeter between the cable and the -ve battery terminal i.e. the Ammeter is in series connection between the cable and the battery terminal and check what current is being shown on the meter.
With most cars the quiescent current flow is 50mA-80mA.
If the meter registers more than this, start methodically removing all the fuses, one by one and checking what the current is with a fuse removed. Replace the fuse before removing the next one and so on until the meter shows that the current has fallen back to within the normal range.
Once you know the fuse (when removed) that causes the current to drop back,, check the fuse box layout diagram in the fuse box lid or owner manual to find out what the fuse is used to supply power to in the car.
