Not too sure what the next steps are; what would you guys do?!

Test the fuses and see which one is live and drawing too much. Keep away from the airbag one though. Do not test that.
This is what you need:

With ignition off and interior lights off go wild.
There are alternatives available to that version in the link to deal with bigger fuses.
Once you have located the live ones. Hook up a multimeter to check the current draw.
I think the process would be best done after 20 minutes. Unlock the car. Leave the door open. Interior lights off. Then check. As some fuses pulse down and you don't want false readings. One or two stay around 0.2 amps but that is nothing. Look for the bigger drains.
