The light is on with the key off.

 

Don't need a meter for that.

 

Or, as Bob Dylan said, "Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"

OK - so after the night... with the PC board unplugged, no draw down on battery.  So....that points to some fault in PC board/indicator lights being the culprit?? But why is there power to the PC board in the first place?  

 

 

You saw my private message, yes?

True, but I'm positive that there will be more problems down the road, there Always is.    

 

It's a life long skill to know how to use an be able to diagnose problems.

So i had a friend diagose a bad transistor circled here.  He replaced it, and the bulb works as it should.  so I'll leave it a day and see if there's any parasitic drain on the battery after a day or so.

Excellent!

 

You might consider a 'conformal coating' for the board in order to protect it in the future.  You can buy small containers of it on Amazon and elsewhere.
