Default Radio ACCY fuse what is it hooked up to? (power draw issue)

Okay so I have been chasing around a short in my 99 T/A. This thing won't even last over night. I can run the car however long but when I park it for the night it would be dead by morning or midday depending on when I cut it off or started it up. So now if I unplug the radio accy fuse it will stay for as long as up to 4 days (the longest I didn't drive the car so far). I was wondering what all is this fuse hooked up to so I can finish chasing this short or I should say power draw and get it taken care of.

Nope not the alternator I replaced mine twice once factory and a bigger one after. I'm going to unplug my antenna and see how that does while I try to find out more about the BCM. thanks for the diagram Shoemike.

the bcm is on the courtesy fuse, that diagram just shows it, i would hunt down the amp and unplug it by the rear spare and see if the draw goes away
or if that doesnt do it its the radio, its the only two really likely
