Patrick,
I've spent most of my adult life troubleshooting things and the #1 piece of
advice I can give you is to stop making any assumptions. You've already assumed
you know there isn't a drain (you don't) and that we don't know what we're
talking about (I didn't know about the glow plug fuse). If you keep making
assumptions like that you won't bother to troubleshoot things and will miss an
obvious problem. You must approach troubleshooting with an attitude of "I know
nothing".
So the first step is to pull the negative battery cable, charge the battery,
then put a test light between the battery and the negative cable. If the light
is on you have parasitic draw. Until you've proven that you know nothing.

One thing I am confused is that the members do not know the difference
between the early and late models.
Let me clarify from what I see on this 1991 model compared to the early
model.
No glove box. Airbag replaced it.
Glow plug egulator has no strip fuse
There is no alternator charging icon on instrument cluster, instead only
battery icon( it comes on when key is on and goes off when engine starts)
All instrument icon(glow plug, battery, brake, airbag lights comes and
goes out when wngine fires up.
Nothing to dowith interior done, radio etc lighting..
I picked up the car from dealer today, drove it home. Parked engine off and
quickly restart and the car started but struggled (low juice, I think). I
have battery on charger, for 30 minutes and it will start the car).
There is no other electrical Gizmo draining the battery because car will
start based on battery fully charged but alternator will not load the
battery.
I will take the car to my friend's shop to follow the list of form
recommendations..
This car is great, OM603.96x with #22 head and well transplanted to this
1991 350sdl chasis, everything working perfectly when I bought it.
If you have any other thinking, I will welcome it before I go to my
friend's shop on Saturday.
Thanks
Patrick..
