My only recommendation is to pull the fuse one by one and see when the current draws stops.

Same here, Optima yellow top. I have the drain isolated to two circuits. One is the battery feed to the ECM, 15mA and the other is either the Vintage Air or the Digital Dawg keyless ignition, 31mA. Have to go further downstream to tell which it is. These are both direct battery feeds that don't go through the main fuse panel (each has an inline circuit breaker).
So the question is to determine if 46mA is considered an "excessive" drain.
All my late model stuff has to be seeing some level of battery usage in a non running state and they always start. Thought about comparing to my 2015 Silverado......
Thanks for the input!
