Disconnect the negative battery cable and connect an Amp Meter between the two.
If something is staying on, you will see a Amperage value.
Start pulling and reinstalling the fuses (one at a time) and observe the meter. Once you reach the circuit which is staying on, the meter value will drop to zero. That is your hint as to where to start.
Be aware that there are some systems that do stay alive, even with the key off.
Both the clock (and I believe the ECM) require a uninterupted power sourse, so plan accordingly. The amp draw for these components will be in the milliamp range and can be disregarded. It's so small a draw that it would take months to drain down a battery.
