Default Battery Drain in '12

I have an even more perplexing battery drain problem. Occasionally after not driving the '12 Corvette for a few days, the battery is dead. I have an amp meter with display (wrap around cable type so I don't have to disconnect the battery). I check it regularly, and it sometimes reads 0.3 amps. Usually nothing. Sometimes it flashes 0.0 to 0.3 amps. I'm careful to check it without the FOB in my pocket (keyless ignition). I've pulled all the fuses to no avail. I've suspected Onstar had something to do with it, but they deny any possibility. I can't take the car anywhere if it is going to sit a few day. It is driving me crazy thinking about it. Thankful for any help.

So I suggest that you post this in the C6 Forums to get the best possible advice rather than the C5 Forums where you first posted it...........
Light Switches on visors are weak mine were staying on. I was talking on phone after getting home at night noticed visor light after sitting there for 5 mins. Ck it. its free fix. Same sorry switches C5or 6.
