I don't think you have electronic suspension. You got regular ole shocks, I'd imagine.

I located Fuse 39 in the power distribution circuit on pic 3. (above the gem on the bottom right)
Does this provide any help

Taking a fresh attempt now using the diagram.
Fuse 39 5a is yellow, bottom right in diagram 3.
On that same block are the following:
---
Fuse 33 - Deactviator Switch & Brake Pedal Positioning Switch
Fuse 27 - Radio
Fuse 21 - Instrument Cluster, Powertrain Control Module
Fuse 15 - Left Front Lumbar Adjust Switch
Fuse 9 - Front Subwoofer Amplifier and Rear Subwoofer Amplifier

It says 'from splice s260 on diagram 1 of 3' under the hood:
Fuse 13 - Electronic Flasher Module
Fuse 6 - 40A

It says 'To fuse 27 Diagram 3 of 3'
Fuse 27 - Radio

---

I am going to remove Fuses 13, 33, 27, 21, 15, 9 and re-test after 45 mins.
I don't have aligator clips, i hope i'm not waking it up by when using the multi..
Hope this approach is good

You are chasing geese. 50 ma is the cut. You with less than 10 ma draw is simply not a problem. You cannot drive the car with all the fuses out and the generic module needs its juice. so does the pcm and the abs. Good on you for checking the hell out of it for your own sanity but like the 2nd or third post said you just need a new battery if you need 14 days out of it. The car will have to relearn tons of stuff after the fuse battery disconnect and all the lights will be on for the abs and traction control complaining of low voltage. Best leave the fuses there
