Default 2007 Mazda Cx7 amp draw continually

2007 Mazda Cx7 amp draw continually checked using an amp meter hook up in series from negative post to ground cable. I pulled every fuse one by one and every relay one by one from both fuse boxes, still reading 1.7 to 2.1 amp draw. Disconnected alternator cables still have the same draw, also disconnect the starter cables in case problems were from that circuit and still draw 1.7 to 2.1 amp. I install a radio 2 years ago and didn't have any issues. This problem started a few months when I find the battery low in charge over a period of 4 to 5 days without starting the car, so I decided to remove the radio and disconnect every wire on the back of the radio, the rear camera positive wire and the remote amp for the amplifier which were connected to accessories cable, meaning that the problem is not from there because only has current when turning the key to accessories. Decide to unplug the power window motors one by one in case were coming from there, and still draw 1.7 to 2.1 amps continually. I know it could be from any were. But Im running out of ideas. Anybody can suggest me something? The car has a new battery, a new ground cable to the body, and a new ground cable to the starter. Any suggestion will be appreciated it. No check engine light on, alternator is charging over 14.2 to 14.4 volts.

Note: I got to go back and do the amp draw test again. I notice what I did wrong to get this reading because it takes about 5 o to 7 days no start situation in order to kill the battery. So with that amount of draw 1.7 to 2.1 maybe it will kill the battery overnight or in two days maximum. My car has a new battery. Any way I will be updating my results.

update 05/23/2023 - It was drawing 80 to 90 milliamps. reason: the alarm system was the problem, it was drawing 30 milliamps continually. The sooner I disconnect the alarm came down to 50 milliamps draw. Problem solved.
