Interior fuse #13 - parasitic draw
So it appears something on this circuit is causing a parasitic draw. About 0.080 amps or so, when I pull that fuse the draw goes down to about 0.014, perhaps I have another issue elsewhere but im not really sure what a “normal” draw is considered on these cars. I pulled all the interior bulbs, all the door switches, the trunk bulb - no change. As per a resource I found, fuse #13 is responsible for the following:
Interior Lamp, Front Step Lamp, Door Switch, Time Control Unit, Ignition Key Hole Illumination, Spot Lamp, Vanity Mirror Lamp LH/RH (Illumination), Trunk Room Lamp/Switch, Rear Window Defogger Relay (Door Mirror)
It started raining while I was poking around and I decided I should probably shouldnt continue given the circumstances. However, two questions for yall:
1) What is a ‘normal’ draw considered on these cars when its off and just sitting?
2) Are there any usual suspects on this circuit that I should focus on?
Ive read a lot about faulty door switches but that doesnt appear to be the case here. Any help and guidance is appreciated, thanks all.

Ive read 10 sources and got 10 different answers lol. Saw a few that said more modern cars have lots of computers and 0.10 draw is completely normal, although I dont this ours qualify. Either way, even with a 0.10 draw, that would mean I could probably avoid any issues by just driving it once a week or so to keep it charged. If it comes down to it I will probably just pull the negative cable off when I park it for more than a day, dont want to risk hurting that brand new Odyssey battery I just spent an arm and a leg on.
