Aren't the front roof lights also known for failing in such a manner to
cause a current drain?
On my '95 E300, there is a steady current draw that is big enough to kill
the battery in about a week or two, unless I pull fuses C and 9.
I recall that I also had that clicking noise from a relay when
Try unplugging the antenna. (run it up first) IF that does not kill
the draw, unplug the radio. I'll bet it is one or the other.

I left the test light in
Have you metered the draw?

The question is, should that relay be open at rest, and does it open after a
few minutes or does it stay active forever?
