THAT is how you diagnose this.
I just did a test on my 2005 Convertible tonight. I saw a current reading of 22 milliamperes (ma). It jumped up a few milliamps every few seconds from a blinking LED on my radio. Otherwise, I saw 22 ma.

I had wanted to check the current reading for the doors locked and unlocked. But for some reason, the doors kept locking themselves. When I bought the car, it had a Clifford alarm and remote start system installed. I don't have any documentation on that. Who knows what they re-wired for that. I'm still trying to figure that out.
