Amp Draw while off - clock circuit

I just had a fairly serious problem with about a 2.5A draw on the battery at all times. Drained my battery overnight.

Found out my Alternator was grounding out somehow FINALLY (pulled every fuse on the car - couldn't find it). Removed the nut on the big single wire to the alternator, and pulled that off, and it dropped WAY down.

Anyway, I still have about a 90ma draw, which isn't horrible, but is still high. Found when I pulled the clock fuse, it drops to about 9ma. So, something on the clock fuse is pulling 81ma, but it's not the clock. It stays the same if I pull the clock out and unplug it. Anyone know what else is on that fuse before I have to go digging through electrical schematics?

Seems to have been a false alarm. Replaced the alternator, put everything back together, and am seeing around 20ma draw, so it's all good.
