Constant battery drain - circuit F29 (interior lights, radio, etc.)

Car  172 ph1, VW T4
Hi guys,
on my PH1 172 my battery won't last overnight unless I disconnect fuse F29 (interior lights, radio). There are no obvious issues (all lights turn off as does the radio when fuse is left in and car is locked. I would imagine I should be looking for a bad earth? Or can someone point me any other direction how to actually find out what exactly is draining the battery? Does anyone have a circuit diagram for this?
Also my reg plate light is not working (not bcs of bad bulb), but that should be a different circuit, correct?
Help much appreciated as I am not exactly an expert auto electrician, but would like to it myself.
Txs,
Matt
 
Sorry, totally forgot I posted this and never replied. The battery drain is .75 Amps, when I remove the fuse for this circuit the drain .04 Amps. Any idea?
 
Hi Bowser, sorry for the really late reply. Just in case you are still having the same problem - I changed the battery and suddenly the drain is gone. I have no idea how this happened, but never happened again :-)
