Re: Parasitic Drain?
Another common problem is the brake light switch. Some of the reproductions don't work well and can just have enough contact to allow juice to flow to the brake light. I've seen more than one with a dim glow at night with the car setting at rest. Another problem can be with a pop out or ignition switch that doesn't completely break the circuit when shut off. If the points are closed, it can drain through the ignition coil.
I have a fuse puller and just pull the fuse out when the car is going to set for a while. This requires a fuse kit to be installed at the battery.
