usually the diode in the regulator is bad switching the main reg wire to key on will stop the drain But the reg is on the way out and unless your doing this on the road chang the regulator
to confirm this - remove the neg term connect the test light between the two one on battery one end on the removed terminal and it should glow , not usually bright then remove the regulator plus wire the light will go off completely a volt meter also works

I'm leaning toward a reg now as earlier suggested.
