The battery is on the charger again, but I will try the 200ma setting when it's done.

My biggest confusion right now is that I saw 0.03 amps on the multimeter. That is 10x lower then what I've been seeing so far.
I started a week ago with 0.45 amps, because it was draining the battery. I have been pulling fuses, plugs, connectors and other stuff. Never found anything decent.
I finally thought I found the problem when I pulled the BCU, but after more testing I'm starting to doubt that as well. Today I got 0.03 with the multimeter staying in place. That seems acceptable and shouldn't drain the battery at all.

So, if the above is done correctly, I honestly don't know why my battery keeps draining. This is the second battery in 8 months. It's getting a bit expensive this way.
