98 X-90 (Sidekick) Pulsating Battery Draw?

[mayberry97]

1998 X-90 (same as Sidekick)

Trying to confirm if this behavior is normal, or if i have a parasitic battery draw.

All interior fuses removed (disabling radio, blower motor, dome and trunk lights, windows, etc...).

Test light between ground cable and negative terminal on the battery. The test light PULSATES. It flashes about once per second...continuously in a steady rhythm.

The only fuse that ceases the test light is the 60a IG fuse on the engine bay fuse box. Removing this fuse stops the light.

QUESTION #1
Is this pulsating draw normal behavior and not enough to kill the battery?

QUESTION #2
If it isn't normal, where where does the problem lay? The white/green wire that comes from the 60a fuse goes directly to the ignition switch. I tried different switch positions and it made no difference.

I recorded a video demonstrating this since it's hard to explain. Check it out please:

I really appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks,
