Default Battery drain related to dome fuse circut

Currently have a drain of about 30 milliamps when the car is sitting, kills the battery slowly since I can't drive the car currently. I checked all the lights in the dome by removing them and I checked the truck light.

The only thing else on the circuit is the power door locks? So for now I have the fuse out and I can't use the remote to unlock the car.

Is this too much amperage or is it just because the car isn't being driven and it being very cold out?

actually 50 miliamps is the standard draw for vehicles. Anything less is great. you might want to check your batt and charging system.

I think both are fine than. The car sat for about 2 weeks with maybe only a few starts for under 20 min total no driving. The battery wasn't super dead but not enough to crank and all I have is that 30ma draw in the dome circuit.

I'm thinking just leave it out (the fuse) until I can drive it?
