98 SSEi battery draining

I have a 98 SSEi that the battery will drain down if the car is left sitting for a day. I used a test light and found that there was some juice being used. I removed all of the fuses under the drivers and passenger dash. I then started removing the fuses under the hood. Here I found two fuses that when removed, would dim the light a little and if I took the other one out, the light would go very dim almost out. The two fuses I pulled are labeled (E.L.C / SPARE) and (C/LTR/RDO/CLSTR/MISC). Can anyone shed some light on these and what I should check next.

Re: 98 SSEi battery draining

Try the relay for the power antenna, my '94 was doing the same thing and this was the cause, I pulled the relay out and the problem went away (it's in the trunk near pwr ant. motor)- good luck
