Default Running out of ideas on a parasitic draw from the "room" fuse

It's not my car, it's my fiance's. 2004 Mazda rx8 manual. It was a rebuild that he did a few years back and now with the new clean engine he's been running it a few miles here and there to get the computers to relearn what they need to, but thats not the issue. The issue lies in that he got a brand new red top battery in it and though it sat for 2 days the battery was completley drained. We've went through and after pulling all the fuses, came to the obvious conclusion that its something on the room fuse thats draining the battery. We've tried everything we could think of, pulled all interior lights, trunk lights, glove box, but can't find anywhere that actually gives out a list of all the things that runs through the room fuse for that car, and even then We've been through everything we can think of and cannot find the draw. Any help appreciated!

Did you check for a short in the driver's sun visor light?

That's a usual suspect.
