I don't have a source for that info, especially absent the make/model you're interested in.

That said, I find these things to be fairly easy to diagnose. Put a meter on the battery to see what the parasitic load is, then start pulling fuses until you find which one has an unreasonable draw. From there it's just a matter of locating the accessory on that circuit.

I found an aftermarket temperature sensor on my truck was drawing something absurd, like 150 mA. Once I threw that away my parasitic draw dropped to 5.5 mA, probably entirely my CD player.
