Battery drain

Something is draining my battery on my 1998 Boxster. It will drain the battery completely in about 2 weeks. I pulled the ground cable off the battery post and connected a test lamp between the post and the cable and it illuminated dimly. As I watched the lamp I pulled the fuses one at a time to isolate the problem and the light never did go out. Could anyone offer any troubleshooting suggestions.

If by some miracle you still have the original battery then replace it. It it is newer then charge it and take it down to an auto parts place and have them do a load test.

If it test good then get a multitester. Use the amp setting. Normal draw is 40 milliamps.
