I am having some issues with battery drain. When my battery is hooked up and headlights off, some of my gauge lights are still on. When I turn the lights on they swap (on turn off and off turn on). I tried another switch I have and it does the same thing. If I unhook the ground cable on the battery and leave the pos cable on, the gauge lights on previously are still getting a small amount of current (I can see a dim glow). If I unhook the blue and black wires from the headlight switch the lights go off. Anyone have any ideas?

Which lights are on and which are off? Each of the gauge illumination bulbs are single-ended. That is, they only have 1 wire (hot) where the ground is the gauge chassis.
If you totally disconnect the NEG of the battery, you will not have an drain. Not sure how you did your cable removal test. |
