Hi Bill,
Welcome back!
I'm going to add your advice to the original post (so others can follow your advice).
Thanks!

It makes a lot of sense that the actual nature of the current draw implicates certain circuits, so I'll add your wonderful advice to the first post above (for the benefit of all).
For example:
a. If it's double-digit current draw, then pull the FSU, and check current draw again.
b. For single-digit current draw, pull F56, and check current draw again.
EDIT: I just tested my active & quiescent current with the FSU removed (and with fuse F76 back in place):
Active period: 1.88 amps
Quiescent period: 80 milliamps
