Is this with, or without one or both doors open?
I'd pull the delay (white relay-like thing, bottom row, 3rd position) 
to see if this is causing you problems; the internal transistor could 
have shortcircuited. 
Also check ALL switches. So not only the switches for the doors, but 
also the trunk and engine bay since they all run from this same 
circuit. 

Best would be to pull the delay and disconnect all switches, then 
re-connecte them one after another; once you see the current go up
you know the culprit.

This would be normal: your clock (if equipped) runs off of this
circuit too and your radio saves its memories with power from
that circuit. I wouldn't worry about this.

Good luck,
