Battery Drain Question

I currently have a battery drain from the driver seat and the dome light. If I unplug the driver seat and pull out the fuse for the dome light, will it stop the battery drain? Its an expensive fix so I hope to do this in the meantime. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

thats if they have their own fuses sometimes a fuses that for the seat may be for other stuff too. to fix it you have to find the short in the circuit which may be time consuming. However sometime I have gotten luck and found short the first place I looked. However I good auto electrical shop thats familiar with MBs should not have a problem, bc with their experiences they would know the common problem in those circuits
