97 850 battery drain, all fuses pulled, looking for inline ones 850 1997

Problem: battery very weak (not dead though) after 4 days sitting, 2 month old battery, happens predictably.
I pulled all fuses and still got a connection spark. Then I detatched all red wires at the battery and narrowed it down to the biggest red cable. A drainage problem is connected to this huge cable. Not even the clock memory is on.
I need a list of any accessories constant, not powered throught the fuse box, or the two other red wires at the battery 90deg junction. I don't think this leaves much. They would be inline fuses going to devices like the cooling fan?
I'll hit the library tomorrow for some diagrams.

Could be alternator diode-doesn't feel warm though.

I appreciate any advice

horrible radio reception (broken antenae fillament?)short?
wimpy horn, just noticed lots of corrosion near belt area- antifreeze leak? alternator is ugly
