1983 245: parasitic battery drain in circuit #6 200

Hi all,

My son's beloved '83 245 (290K and runs like a clock) has developed a 150ma parasitic drain on circuit # 6, which is main fuel pump, dome light, and brake lights.

On this older 240, with no key in the ignition, you can step on the brake and the brake lights will light. Could a worn brake light switch cause the drain?

I've pulled the fuel pump relay, and switched off the dome light, but I still measure the drain.

Maybe disconnect the brake light switch and see what happens?

Thx,

Monty
