this would indicat that it is something else that is either not fused or has a fuse somewhere else! so try dissconnecting the main +ve at the fuse box and try the light bulb trick, if it lights then have a look at the statrte make sure it's not grounding anywhere!

have you got any other wires coming off the battery? have yo got a split charge system with a stuck relay?
