WITHOUT THE MEASUREMENT OF HOW MUCH THE DRAIN IS WE CANNOT HELP YOU, GO BACK TO YOUR AUTO ELECTRICIAN AND ASK. A GOOD BATTERY CAN SUPPORT A COUPLE HUNDRED mA DRAIN WITHOUT DYING IN 12 HOURS, IF YOURS CAN'T THEN REPLACE YOUR BATTERY
And quit shouting you effing idiot..

How about the most simple answer? pull the IOD fuse when the car is going to sit for more than 12 hours.
pull the fuse no drain! thank me later! :-)
Sorry for shouting there is a 0,40 draw on circut.
Hi...
Almost half an amp sounds like a real good number for a light bulb...
Might be a worthwhile (and free) step to double check - go out after dark and check that none are stuck on... under hood light, glove box light, trunk light, etc...
Just thinking out loud...

Insert a DVM configured as an ammeter in place of the fuse to the memory IOD and tell us if the 400ma draw is coming from that circuit.
My guess is the memory IOD is drawing a more reasonable 20ma and the big drain is elsewhere. I think your auto electriacan screwed you over. If he was at all a professional he would have followed the IOD circuit back and tested at the iod itself to make sure it wasn't a chafed wire going to the iod and not the iod itself, or a drain elsewhere.

well i kept looking to find that it was a relay under drivers seat
