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..
