Anyone have a clue what is connected through this fuse or anyone else had a short at this location? Any help at this time would be appreciated. Thanks

The manuals show that fuse No. 4 supplies the fog light circuit which is quite complicated. A drain of 200 milli amps is hard to fathom. You must accept some residual standing current to maintain clock and computer memories. How much does the reading change after removing fuse 4.
While registering the current drain, try removing the fog light relay and observe results and report back. If the drain changes it will put some of the circuitry out of the suspect area. Damp spider webs or whatever, behind the fog lights are a thought.
