Electrical drain question-bad starter?

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

If it has a slow draw and not a short(A short will smoke)remove the fuses 
one at a time and see which circuit has the draw.That will really narrow 
down the search.It's a lot easier to trouble shoot one circuit than make a 
lot of guesses. good luck You should be able to use a multi tester and 
wiring diagram to help you.
good luck.
