try disconnecting the alt and see if that's where the problem is

what Cdowns said. If you pulled all your fuses then it has to be something that is hooked to the battery but not on a fused circuit.

You CAN'T use a Voltage meter.... You have to use a trouble light..a 12 Volt bulb......IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME!

I just am completing putting everything back together from a week long testing session for the same reason.. In my case where I have added so much ( almost too much) aftermarket electrical stuff, it can take a very long tedious time to find the Culprit.. Mine was a few small things drawing just a little from each thing...Then again of you have basically everything electric Stock, it shouldn't be a big problem..

But drop the meter,, Pick up the 12 volt light tester..

A meter will read though the diods in the alternator,use a light
