Default 2003 Neon battery drain

My wife's 2003 Neon just started having a drain on the battery. Using a VOM if checked current draw and found .500ma draw. I pulled fuses until I found the radio/Int light fuse caused it to drop. The dome light is not staying on and there is no glove box light. What else could it be?
I do not have a wiring diagram to trace the wiring.
Any help is appreciated.

When you got a .500ma draw was the domelight off?

Yes the dome light was off. I draws 1.3 amps when the light is on.
