Also have this problem
I seem to have the same battery drain problem as discussed in this thread. I also see about 0.4A draw in the "ROOM" circuit, that (after a few minutes) drops to about 0.3A and stays at that level. I'm the original owner of the car, never had special (non-stock) parts installed that I can think of. If I don't use the car for 5 days, the battery can be completely dead. The battery was replaced about a year ago, and tested OK last week according to the dealer. I've now taken out the "ROOM" fuse when the car is not used, to check if the car survives a few days without being used.
Many thanks to rkhanso for posting your findings, this is very useful!
A question regarding this quote:
Where in the workshop manual is this? I cannot find it. It would help to convince my local dealer that a 0.4-0.3A draw is a problem (rather than blaming my infrequent use of the car).

According to the workshop manual, the amperage draw test has to be performed after a greater than 15minute rest, and should not be higher than 45ma draw.
