That's the courtesy fuse, it's for the interior lights and cigarette lighter and such.

I think also the stereo. Lots of stuff is on that circuit, crappy that it's such a widely used circuit...

install your own stereo? perhaps cd player memory? (shouldn't drain a battery in less than a month, but...)

maybe a mod will be nice enough to move this to the electronics forum, trickster there is really good at this type of thing.
