Do you have a question, or are you just making a statement?

Assuming you are asking why this might be happening or what to check next, I would suggest that you need to determine what is loading the system. You can do this by monitoring the current draw on the system while pulling fuses, one at a time, and seeing which one causes the drain to drop to only a few tens of milliamperes. Have you made sure the interior lights are not stuck on due to either the switch position or the door pin switch in the door latch? Have you confirmed the connections are correct at the alternator?
