The issue with disconnecting the battery is the PCM/ECM losing its learned memory and Readiness Monitors that are the PCMs self-tests on such systems as the Evap leak, Catalyst monitors, etc. It's not so much of a big deal temporarily while we figure out where this draw is happening. But if you need to go through emissions testing/inspection anytime soon that will be an issue.
It looks like that Integration Relay is probably built into that fuse panel, and on the back side is just the harness plug for it where the power will come in or go out to whatever its controlling.
It's difficult to tell everything that it controls, I'm having to look at almost every diagram to see if it's included or not. The manufacturer should have just made a diagram for the relay itself showing everything on one page that has to do with it. The circuit for the Dome Fuse also looks to run into that Instrument fuse panel and then back out to another Junction Block in the center of the dash and then come back to the Fuse panel.
So, I think when you get to the relays connector on the back side of the fuse panel, is to disconnect it and if possible use your meter to check each pin on that connector to the fuse panel (in series) like you're doing at the battery, but this way we would be able to know exactly which wire to the relay the draw is on. If that makes sense.
You may want to invest in an amp clamp that can measure DC current, even a cheap one since you're not measuring high current flow in cases like this.
You would be able to just put the amp clamp around each wire at the fuse panel and see if there's current flowing without having to deal with disconnecting anything to put a meter in series with wires.
I'm surprised you didn't find any voltage drop across any fuses in the instrument fuse panel. I'll need to check where else that circuit goes, you don't hear anything buzzing or clicking under the hood when you reconnect the battery at all? Do you have your meter on the negative or positive battery cable?
