Need Help Quik

Ok here is the deal. I have had a electical lead and have been loosing power over night I checked with an ammeter last night and found that the red wire to the ecm is what was causing the drain by pulling the fuse and the voltage on the ammeter dropped. Does this mean that it has to be the ECM? or could it be something else other than that. IS there anything else that draws power from that circut?

I would first make sure that its the only thing on that fuse. and which fuse did you pull exactly? I need a little more info but to be honest Ive never heard of an ECM making the battery go dead

I found it I think it was my amplifier. I cant beleave it it was almost brand new. But Im still not sure exactally what it is. I know that when the battery is off the amp will draw power but only for a second to charge up the compacitors. after that the current draw goes down to 0 so I dont think its that. however there is always a current draw on the ACC and ARC circuts I pulled the fueses and the car starts like a champ again.
