radio amps are usually fed via a lead from the back of the head unit. Assuming you have the radio code for the head unit, try sliding it out and disconnecting the big connector to see if that drops the power consumption. Courtesy lights as in glove box/vanity mirror etc or do you mean the running lights?

The lights in the door jams stay on. I think I figured out a cheap way to fix it by putting a spade terminal in each side of the fuse box and use a fused toggle switch on the dash to turn them on/off as needed instead of removing the fuses.
