I have a 96 850 GLT wagon. The radio circuit (fuse 7) has a 1 to 2 amp current draw all the time that kills the battery is the fuse is left in. I removed the radio/tape unit and the current draw is still there. I have had several shops look at it a give up. Does this car have a separate amplifier hidden somewhere? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Trouble-shooting wiring is one really TEDIOUS job, bro...

You need to get ahold of a wiring diagram and see what else runs on the same circuit.

Try the link for the wiring diagrams.
