need to get a cheap amp meter and hook it up between the battery and battery cable to see how much draw you have then start to remove fuses one at a time see if amps drop if not replace fuse and do next one till find one that drops to zero that is the circuit you have to check out more could be glove compartment light or such

If you haven't found your problem, look into this: My 95 was the same way and one day I got under the back seat and the "infinity" stereo amp was hot. I hadn't started the car in a while and the keys weren't even in it. The amp was staying on constantly. I know there are other solutions to this but it helped me decide to go ahead and put another sound system in.

Thanks for the replies, it appears that my problem is also the audio power amp (I have the original 'infinity' amp and Jeep 6 CD unit).
When I have time I will just add a power relay and drive it from the electric aerial output of the radio, hopefully that will cure it.
Cheers
Dave

fixed this when io loosened BOTH torx screws on ECM computer 'cover'.....[on firewall pass side in engine compartment]
 
screws are right below wire plugs kinda in the middle.
 
must remove reservoir to get to outside one.
 
i loosened these per a suggestion here[from someone who found this----screws are too long n short something out[inside ECM] ---after years].....
 
this was to solve stalling problem.
 
WHICH IT ALSO FIXED!!!!!!!!!
