    I agree. I had the battery drain quicker than it should and this was the cause. Removed trunk light bulb, problem solved.

        The thing is i also tried to remove all the fusess under the dash and left the car like that 24h. The battery was drained, not to death but barely enough to start the car. I did the same with the fuses under the hood and got similar results. I read ppl replying about an a/c remote. I know the previous owner removed the a/c strap so the a/c doesnt work.

          If does it after all the fuses are removed, then it must be a shorted diode in the alternator or something related to the alternator (relay on all the time) draining the battery. Here's a how to on testing for a parasitic power drain with a mutimeter (alternator is step 9) -

          If your vehicle is drawing power from the battery and all of the lights and other electrical components are off, you might have a parasitic battery drain (or draw). Luckily, you can usually find the cause of a parasitic draw yourself....
