[V8] Who are the usual suspects?

Battery goes dead in my 90 V8, have a new battery, but there's about a 2 
to 3 amp (I think) steady drain here somewhere. I figure that's the 
amount because my charger's meter never drops below 2 amps with 
everything in the car turned off.


Checked the wires in the trunk lid hinge, OK, listened carefully for 
lock motors, etc. still running, all silent.

Who are the usual suspects here? Bad alternator diode perhaps? I know 
the ammeter plus pull fuses one at a time trick, but if there is a 
"usual" cause that might save me some troubleshooting time, inquiring V8 
owners want to know . . .

Best Regards,
