Hi Mitch,
I went back and checked my notes to confirm my findings and it was
Fuse C that was blown. Fuse #9 is the one that allowed the test light
to go out when I pulled the fuses. But I see what you mean about the
fuse and the battery killer being separate issues. So I have 2 problems
Thanks Jim,
I'll study this for a while and I suspect things will become clearer.
Thanks for the simplification!

Unfortunately no, when I put it away for "semi-storage" I made sure
everything was turned off. I should have disconnected the battery but
something came up IIRC. After that it was out of the memory banks..

Thanks Max,
Well duh, it sounds so simple when you tell it like that ;-)
Actually I should have been able to figure that one by myself. But after
so long it was obviously not coming easily. Seems like I used to be
much smarter than I am now. Guess my brain is getting older too. I

Hi Max,
Thanks, so you think it may be as simple as swapping out the
front/courtesy light assy?
Sure, I'm in no hurry - I can drive it with Fuse 9 removed. The Radio
doesn't work anyway ;-)
Is there anyway to test it? Maybe take the bulbs out, put the fuse back
in and see what the test
Larry - I think I have a spare front / courtesy light. Finding that spare
in my garage, now that may be another matter If you are in no hurry,
and decide you would like it, let me know.

Hot side of the fuse: If you remove the fuse, one of the two terminals will
be "hot" with 12v DC. In order to be hot, usually some switch like the
ignition switch needs to be turned on, but some fuses and circuits are not
switched and always have power, like the headlights and the courtesy light,
Could someone have left the courtesy light / map light turned on? Might be
as simple as that...

Basic electrical circuitry is actually quite simple. Pretend that an
electron wishes to get from the positive side of the battery to the
negative side. (They actually go the other way, due to a bad naming guess
by the original scientists, but that's irrelevant.) How does it get
there? Follow
Whichever circuit has a blown fuse, is not the circuit that's killing
batteries.
The blown fuse stops the current draw. There's likely a big issue on that
circuit, but it's a separate issue from the dead battery.

That is the odd thing - Fuse #8 blew but Fuse #9 is the one that turned
off the test light as I went through the fuses disconnecting each one.
But the fuse blowing could have been a fluke, perhaps?
I'll look at the Relay Diagrams and pull the Courtesy Light Relay, then
put #9 back in and see
I was camping, a Coleman Lantern friend who also owns the Whately Engine

I've got video of him starting a
Terminal 86 is the German label for power supply connection at the relay.
I suspect the curtesy light relay, it's the usual failure. Draws a couple amps
all the time when dead.
Never known it to blow the fuse though.
Your lost wire could be pinched in the dash somewhere and grounded, too.

Oops, not this thread, the short thread.

I believe Relay Comfort Circuitry is the delay relay for the dome lights
staying on after you close the door.
I believe both that and the radio itself have been accused, right here in this
thread, of causing battery killing current draws.

Hi Max,
Just finished testing the fuses - I disconnected the Neg Cable
