Default power parasite in my 2001 camry

I recently had a dead battery, charged her up and it was dead the next day. I traced the draw down to a circuit with a fuse under the hood marked with no amp stamp, but it looked like radio 1. I pulled the fuse and it disabled my remote fob, a few courtesy lights on the instrument panel, and the clocks memory. any suggestions as to what to look for? I'm not an electrician but if you have had this issue and have any help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Is the remote and radio aftermarket or Toyota?

Suggest disconnecting the remote system then determine if the drain is still there.
