Where could a 16.4A drain be coming from?

Battery less than 1 year old, going dead in 1-1.5 days. Have pulled fuses to check and left out the 15A for the radio as I think there is a short in the radio..cant listen to FM, it comes in and out when turned on. Could it still be a radio connection pulling that juice or could you suggest what to check ??

Thanks, Judi (Rebelrouserone)

thats inpossiable 16.4 volts.start by pulling all the fuses 1 by 1 and have someone watch the meter.when it falls off thats the circit.if you pull all the fuses and breakers and its still there.go to the under hood maxi fuse panel and do the samething.youll need to remove the fuse that controls the interior lights or youll have to close the door after pulling each fuse.
