'92 LeBaron need spec for electrical drain

With the key out and all the doors closed, the current draw (after theater lighting goes out) is 0.12 amps. Does anyone know if this is excessive or typical for these cars? I know some other car models draw between 0.04 and 0.07 amps when off, and their batteries can go a month or two without being drained to the point that the car won't start.
I have isolated most of the ignition-off current usage to the circuit for interior lights, the radio and engine controls. Removing the fuse for this circuit reduces the current draw to about 0.04 amps; when the fuse is plugged back in, current goes up to 0.12 amps. I haven't been able to find a circuit diagram for this fuse's circuit (fuse #2, 10 amps). Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this circuit diagram? Also, I am suspicious that the courtesy light controller (that keeps some interior lights on for a short time after the ignition is turned off and the doors are closed, then slowly dimming them until they go off--"theater lighting feature") is the problem, but I don't know where it is located in the car or what it looks like. I want to try disconnecting this controller to see how much current it draws; keeping it disconnected may be a quick fix. Simply removing fuse 2 keeps the radio from coming on and the engine controls don't get electric power (this doesn't seem like a good idea).

that is way too much, you may want to get the book for your car as they are more than 1 diagram

Re: '92 LeBaron need spec for electrical drain

I have the same problem with a '92 LeBaron. When I take out the "IOD" fuse and the "fuel SYS" fuse the draw goes away. Putting either back causes the draw again. Next step is to find a circuit diagram. Any comments?
