as a reference, 1 incandescent bulb would draw 1000milliamps
do you have an aftermarket remote start? they will draw 35mamps normally. if you have anything aftermarket, phone chargers etc. unplug all of it.
the allowable parasitic draw for most modern fca vehicles is 35mamps

90 ma at 12v is only 1.08 watts which isn't much at all. That could be the keep alive memory (KAM) for the PCM and radio.

thank you for all your replies,, I have unplugged everything, and the only draw is the 2 green wires off of the headlight switch, its enough of a draw that it does tend to drain the battery if I don't drive it for a few days,,,thats why im really trying to figure this mystery out, there has to be a way to eliminate this,,,tomorrow I try again,,,thanks again,,,

I wonder if those might be for the warning buzzer to let you know you've left the headlights on?
