battery drain, next steps...

I finally got around to investigating a nagging battery draining issue I've had for a while. Using a test light approach I discovered that my "CTSY" (courtesy) fuse is the problem. My question is how do I pinpoint the issue beyond here? I've checked connections on the cigarette lighter and dome lights. Should I check the relays? If so does anyone know where they are located? As you can tell my wiring knowledge is limited. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Justin

Aside from the interior lights and cigar lighter, other things that share that circuit feed are:

Clock input to radio;

Rear hatch release/pulldown;

Horn Relay;

Map lights;

Power antenna;

Center console lamp;

Cargo well lamp.
