voltage leak (on car) can you help?

i got fed up with jumpstarting my car every 2 days so i got the multimeter out today. set it to amps, removed the -ve terminal and connected it in line.
ive read that a drain of 0.075A is enough to drain a car battery overnight & i saw a reading of 0.22A with ign off & interior lights etc off.
i then removed & fuses & found the current dropped to 0.02A when the central locking fuse was removed.
what can be causing this voltage leak? i dissconected the 2 central locking motors in the doors ( i was about to dissconect the boot & fuel cap motor/solenoid but it started raining!)

any ideas would be appreciated
