This is good, but from your original post I'm thinking you are not too keen on diagnosing. Lets take it down a level. You can connect a regular car light bulb between the disconnected negative cable and the battery (or use a test light) and disconnect things till the light goes out. Remember that if you have a door switch and dome light, to pull the dome light bulb so it's not keeping the light on at the battery - indicating a load.
