Parasitic Battery Drain??

Parasitic Battery Drain??
I think I have a problem.
My car is sucking 0.140 AMP from my battery in sleep mode
If I then remove the ROOM LAMP fuse (10AMP) of the inside fuse box, it drop to 0.070 AMP which I think, is a reasonable value right?
The ROOM LAMP fuse also give power to side mirrors and driver's control seat.
Any thoughts on this? It happened to someone else here?
Thanks

I had my cars battery go dead on me a few times right after I bought it. What was happening in my case was with the car in ACC I didn't realize that the headlights were on because the switch was on Auto. Once I realized the problem I always turn my headlights to Off and can use ACC for a few hours with no issue.

Thanks for all your inputs. Yes I have LED bulbs everywhere but it should not be a problem.
My car is no longer on warranty so I decided to check this myself and everything seemed to be fine. I called an Infinti dealer and talked to a technician. He told me that this is normal. I have checked and the electrical system drain .140AMP for about 30 minutes. after 30 minutes it drop to about 0.03 AMP.
So my problem was only my battery...
@RAGINCAJUN: It happened to me few times too!! So maybe I killed the battery that way!

i just noticed you let it sit for 30 minutes and then observed a significant drop in drain. i am letting my car sit now. hopefully i have the same results as you and its just my battery. it just seems too coincidental that this all started after installing a seat that got wet.
sent you a pm too. but you can respond here
thanks

ok checked and im at 26 milliamps after 30 minutes. either my re-removing my car seat and re-inserting connections fixed it, or my battery is screwed up like the OP
i'm at 13+volts when car is running, and around 12.5 after a jump and letting it run a few minutes. i dont know how old the battery is - i've had the car about 2 years (2008 infiniti g35) and havent changed the battery
or maybe something is kicking in at intervals and draining my battery. can a bad battery drop from 12.4 to 12.1 voltage overnight w/ no significant parasitic drain? this is what happened last night

went back and verified (about 1 hour after letting the car sit while off) and draw was still about 25ma.
but the car wont start. it battery was at 12.38v before trying to start. directly after trying to start it was at 12.08. would this indicate a bad battery? or is 12.38v not enough to begin with to fully start up the car?
may take battery in to autozone for a test or just buy a new one
