The battery was on a recond charge for 24hours prior. It brought the battery back from the dead, I didn't load test it though last night, my brain was cooked just finding the issue, I will test it tonight, and try to figure out where to look now.
I did put new Narva push button dash switches in maybe 18 months ago, for the light bar and spotties, I might just unplug the switch to see what happens there I suppose.

Shite! Just did that last week flushing the GQ cooling system before finishing fixing/cleaning/re-wrapping my engine bay left side harness... didn't notice anything going crazy or smoky after that but you got me worried...

Could remove battery, chg it overnight and leave it at float (chg) voltage to see how she holds SOC. Still do load test.

Then onto the next thing. Fix the f*%king wiring. Lol
It’s a mess!

Good find, Mudski. Electricity is a myth. Everything runs on magic smoke, and it looks like the smoke has escaped from the system.
