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?

I think I fixed my issues. On one of the center console gauges the wires were no hooked up properly. Not sure if that was me when I installed it or PO, but it is fixed now, I hope (leaving the battery hooked up overnite to see if it holds charge). One thing I noticed in all this searching is that my fuel pump stays on the whole time the key is in the on position, not just for a second or two. I am running carbs with the pump up front. I won't have time to check on it until next week since I will be out of town, but I was hoping for some pointers.
