Sorry, I was using the amps, not volts

start disconecting circuits until the draw stops

Well, I finaly got soem time to work on this issue today...and I got lucky, first circut I pulled was the winner.

Seem my Autometer tach is the problem.  I had the red wire hooked up to the battery terminal on the fuse block (I think red to Battery is corrrect).  Pulled the wire and no more draw.

I guess that is what I get for using a 15 year old tach...

Just hook it up to the terminal right next to it that only gets power when the key is on. There is nothing wrong with that 15 year old tach.

just connect it to the switched 12v circuit  so it si on with the ign

I was thinking about that...and I can not see why the tach would not work.  Of course that spot is already in use, but I can make it work, maybe a small rewire .

For some reason I thought that the tach had to have power all the time...I guess not.

there are triple connectors behind the dash ,red yellow & orange you need a bullet connector to plug into them , I think red is switched power & yellow is constant power

Yep found those...they were handy, I think I may have a spot let in one of them...

Thanks,
