Default Battery draining, 2007 V70

I have a parasitic draw of .32 amps on my battery.
Have tried pulling all fuses in the dash module, and also in the cargo compartment module.
Pulling the No. 6 fuse in the dash module reduces the draw on the battery to only .10 amps, after the interior lights go out.
The remote door locks don't work with No. 6 pulled (those are not listed on the fused components list for that fuse).
Not sure how to proceed from here. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

check your glove box and other vanity lights

Thanks.
I've removed the lamp from the glove box and checked the visor lights. No luck. Still draining the same, unless I pull the No. 6 fuse.
And then, to make matters much worse, I tried prying the upper panel aft of the interior rear view mirror away from the overhead, in an effort to have a look in there, (not thinking to disconnect the battery first), and then I get a "SRS- Airbag Service Urgent" message!!! Didn't think there would be anything up there connected to the airbags...
Guess I'll have to take it to the dealer to get that resolved, unless someone has some good advice about how to avoid that.

Where are you located? I have a BSR-PPC reader which extinguishes the SRS light.
I'm in Northern New Jersey and travel up the Hudson and Champlain Valleys almost to Burlington, Vt.

More and more code readers have this capacity these days so ask around your local indies who work on Volvos.

Thanks for the kind offer, George, but I live in SE NC.
I'm planning on taking the car to a local indie later this week to get the light extinguished ($30).
In the meantime, I'm driving around with a fuse pulled, which isn't too much of a hardship until I get this current draw figured out. (Just need to use the key to lock the car manually.)
