Those are great ideas. Another suggestion: measure the current between the disconnected wire and the + battery terminal. Make sure everything's turned off in the car before doing this or you risk frying your meter. If the load is more a few milliamps somethings draining the battery besides the clock and memory circuits in the ECU and the radio. Like the horn relay example but they don't draw enough current to blow a fuse. Most of these problems drain the battery faster than a year's time but they may be a factor.

Good Luck!
