Hi,
I have a 2015 Toyota RAV4, battery dies overnight and new battery was replaced like 3-4 days ago, when I do serial check I see it has a draw around 167-178 miliamp draw, and when I unplug fuse ECU-B NO 1 it drops to 11 miliamps,
I need help where to start and what to unplug to pinpoint the issue, I don't see any aftermarket thing, but it had a code related to remote start communication (the owner says he bought the vehicle 12 years ago and it has the remote starter working properly since then),
I unplugged the remote starter module but nothing changed,
I need some suggestions,
Thanks 
Mike

Unfortunately, there's a lot on the table as far as suspects for this draw.
An OEM diagram may do a better job breaking down this circuit.
Before we go too crazy chasing this circuit, it's important to note that draw testing must be done in a very methodical manner.
I never touch anything until at least 45min has passed after I set up my test equipment. Sometimes I will even wait one hour. Removing fuses before the car has completely powered down will create false test results. 
The doors must remain latched or the ajar switches must be depressed the entire time, even momentarily disengaging a latch resets the wait clock.
Since there are so many components at play , I would search online for common causes of key off draw on this car, and if they are on this circuit, I would disconnect those first.

Hi Noah,
Thank you for your valuable answer, really appreciated,
You were right in fact,
I waited longer than 30 minutes and draw went down to around 27 miliamps,
And replaced battery was defective and replaced again with agm battery and all good now,
Thank you again
