Default 88 Vette Courtesy Fuse

Just bought a really clean 88 Corvette given to the guys wife from estate and she sold to me. Seems he was trying to track down some sort of power backfeeding through the courtesy clock fuse, there was nothing in its place when I got the car. I put a 15 amp fuse in the slot and without the key being in the ignition every single accessory powered by that circuit came on and killed the battery instantly. The only aftermarket thing I can find is a pioneer cd changer was installed at some point, unsure if it is bad will be unplugging tomorrow and checking again on that. Factory delco bose radio and speakers, not sure of any other areas that could possibly feed power like that if anyone has had this problem before any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
