Lightbulb Battery drains

My 2002 Miata has a battery drain issue. Mechanic checked all fuses for phantom draw but came up empty. Any ideas where else to look? He unplugged the radio antenna as it only went in half way.... the trunk/license plate lights function as they are suppose to. Help! Thanks......

You need to find another mechanic who can re-test everything. It will be draining somewhere. Unless you battery is catus, which would easily show up if tested properly.

You need to go through the circuits one by one and isolate which one is causing the draw.
