Angry 2009 Mazda 6 Sedan Parasitic Draw from Room Circuit

I have a Parasitic Draw of my battery of about 0.09 Amps coming from the Room circuit and couldn’t till now discover from where but when I take out the Room fuse it drops to 0.00 Amps.

Could be that small amount the reason of my battery drainage in about 5 days of not using the car?

It is too high, 0.04 is about tops.

No, 90mA it's excessive but won't drain battery in 5 days unless battery has degraded and in very poor condition.
Major culprit in most car brands with that age it's hands free telephone module located behind glove box in a LHD, don't know where it is in a RHD. Unplug and measure again.

A OBDII interface was conected to my car computer sending data to the Android head unit. Took off the device and boom the drain came down to 0.04. Thanks for your help anyway.

Default I got a clear answer from my dealer

Dependant on whether your vehicle is fitted with an immobilizer or not , For vehicles with the immobilizer system, the system periodically shifts synchronization of the security light flashing. Therefore, 65 mA (0.1 s) current is supplied when the security light is illuminated, and 50 mA (2 s) current is supplied when the security light is not illuminated. In addition, the measuring instrument, which shows the average value, indicates around 55 mA.

Battery parasitic draw (When the ignition is off (key is removed), all doors and the bonnet are closed.)

Vehicles with immobilizer system: 50—65 mA

Vehicles without immobilizer system: 55 mA or less
