You can take off a battery connector and use an ammeter in line with the battery and lead you removed, you should see some current flowing if its enough to drain the battery, i cant imagine the digi click even registering on a nomal multimeter. You can then get a mate to start pulling fuses inside the car, if you see the amps drop suddenly whichever fuse he pulld out last is on the offending circuit. After that it time to start disconnecting relays and ancilaries till you find the short. Best of luck.
