Battery drain problem

Hi Guys

Trying to diagnose a battery drain problem.

Measuring the current with every thing swiched off I am finding that it is going up and down with a clicking noise from within the car.
Tried disconnecting all fuses but it is still there, then tried disconnecting the alarm - again still there.

The clicking seems to be coming from the near side rear quarter - I am guessing that as it is something that is powered with all the fuses removed it might be the immobiliser.

Its a factory fitted unit - can anyone confirm its location is behind the ns rear quarter I.e alongside the rear seats before I pull it all apart?

Sometimes the problem is the door contacts for the interior light, they become corroded + they then either stay on or effect the alarm system.
OR it could be a problem with the glove box light switch...making it to stay on...
Dont know about anything in the rear quarter though...Although that is where the sunroof motor lives...the passenger side rear quarter...
 
I thought the electronic gubbins was all either under passenger seat ( RHD cars) or srcewed to the back the passenger foot plate

Spot on - the alarm is in the footwell and immobiliser under the seat.
