Default Battery drain.

I replaced my battery only to find out that there is a drain in the system. The old battery was shot and would take a recharge anyway. So I pulled the fuses and found the that with the door lock fuse in im drawing 4 amps. Has anyone dealt with this? I was able to pull the unit apart at work and the coils for the relays have the same resistance. I dont have the setup here to test the unit hooked up to the car. Anyone have any ideas?

Unhook negative cable stick a 10 amp fuse between the cable and post if it blows you have to much draw. If it doesn't blow take a volt meter hook the same way as the fuse see how many amps it draws. If its more than 3-4 amps start unpluging things untie you find the draw.

The relays both have a resistance of 100 ohms. Guess i have to start checking wires?
