Spent 8 hours hunting a parasitic draw on a 2012 Civic, turned out to be the glovebox light

I felt that, Tyler. "Always the dumbest stuff" is the truest thing I've read all week. For me it was a brake light that kept blowing fuses. I chased wiring for two days before I found a crushed wire under the back seat where someone stepped on it. Just a little nick in the insulation touching the frame. Fixed it with electrical tape and a zip tie. Probably took longer to find than the actual repair itself.

Always the dumbest stuff too" - yeah but what was the actual fix? Did you just replace the switch or bypass it entirely? I had a similar issue on an Accord once, ended up just pulling the bulb. Glovebox light is pointless anyway.
