Electrical issue?

I have a problem that causes the battery to drain after sitting for a day.

I checked the amp draw with key out and it is at 360MA and it should be around 20-40MA. So I started looking for the issue but haven't found it yet.

During the search I checked the alternator and it is not working or does not appear to be. I get 12.6 volts before starting and the same once its running and rev up the RPM's but no change.

The windows are all the way down. I can hear a click when I press the down button but no noise when I press the up button and neither one will go up.

The top is down and I hear a click when I try to raise it but it will not move at all.

I know someone is going to say check your ignition key switch. Ok please tell me how to do that.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Rick

I also noticed that the light on the dash is on showing that the rear spoiler is not down but it is. I can move it up or down with the switch on the fuse block but I cannot get the light to go out.

Update:

The 375MA of draw was coming from D8 fuse (radio). The volume and channel buttons on the stock radio feel gummy soft and sticky. And as I was messing with them while checking amp draw the readings were jumping upward. I unplugged that fuse and I have 70 MA with door open.

That does not explain why:
1. The windows will not go up.
2. The top clicks but does not move upward.
3. The rear spoiler is down but the light stays on showing that it is up.
