Looking info on a battery disconnect switch

So is it a super difficult task to pull each fuse to find the drain? I'm not sure how many fuses there are or how accessible.

There is a good amount of them ,, but at least the box top shows what the fuses are for ..

Right next to the battery there is a (mysterious) black box with a plastic "nut" on top. Take the nut/lid off and you will be witness to a rainbow of fuses for your enjoyment. The Relays are black and boring though, so don't expect much out of those.

There so Pertty and look great at Christmas time ..
When you pull one at least for the radio it affects other systems and you have choose accordingly.. Mine got rid of the radio and the door lock buttons from working only when the key is off lol ..

This is the negative battery connection I remove and reinstall using a quick disconnect.. after I run it the damn thing get hot and I try not to burn my fingers ..Plus it’s become a pain making me have to clean the terminal and post when I put it on now .. need to make it simple with a switch for now … the parasitic drain if it’s wiring or the amp bot are a pain in the ask to trace . I suspect the drivers door speaker as it began to crackle before I had the drain and it could possibly be the door jam wiring which tends to break wire and a common problem with rams ..

I was surprised it has 3 ground wires connecting to the negative cable .

And fuse box the top says SRT10 right next to the battery hahaha

It can get confusing.
But Wifey, with the lid off you are already 1/2 way there.
Go ahead, swap some fuses around and see what happens. It's the only way to know for sure.

Have you load tested your battery to see if it is still within specs?

How to diagnose a PCM battery drain

1. Test for Parasitic Draw: Use a digital multimeter in series with the negative battery cable. Normal draw should settle around 20--50 mA after the vehicle goes to sleep. A much higher reading indicates an active draw. [1, 2]
2. Pull Fuses: Systematically pull fuses from the power distribution box to see which circuit drops the current draw. If the draw drops significantly when you pull the PCM or ignition fuse, the PCM or its relay is likely the culprit. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
3. Check for Trouble Codes: Even if the PCM isn't shutting down properly, it may still log Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Use an OBD-II scanner to read these codes to verify control module faults. [1, 2]
