Parasitic draw gremlin

I've got a 2015 Honda Civic 1.8L cvt sedan with all options except for fog lights and power seats. Canadian model if that matters. My battery goes dead after the car sits about 24 hours. Ive already replaced the battery, still going dead. I then tested the parasitic draw to be 90 mA. Here's where it gets weird - I disconnected the aftermarket subwoofer and amp, no difference. I pulled each fuse in the engine bay 1 by 1 and no difference. I pulled each interior fuse and the draw stayed the same. I also tried disconnecting the alternator. I even pulled the main fuse, and still read 90 mA draw. I'm at a complete loss now. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
