Sounds like you are on the right tack -- divide and conqueror. Find the fused circut with the draw, then look at a wiring diagram and see what on that circuit could be causing the drain. Check those thigns out one by one. You can take guesses based on what the owners manual says is on that circuit, and you might even get it. However, owners manuals typically list only the "major appliances" on each circuit -- there are often lots of little things too.
As for your meter, you may have fried the 10A part of its internal circuitry, especially if it isn't fused. If so, get a 1-Ohm resistor (try Radio Shack or measure out a 1-Ohm length piece of wire) and measure the voltage drop across it (one lead to each side of the resistor) -- each volt means an amp of current.
