Parasitic Draw - Emergency Flashers

[vesnyder]

I have been having a parasitic draw on my '83 SC that was leaving my battery without power. After analyzing the issue I found the Emergency Flasher fuse - #17 - was causing the issue. That seems to be an odd culprit! Any suggestions on how to repair? Not that I cannot do without my flashers but I wonder if I replace to switch if that will fix the issue. It was only drawing 20mA, but that seemed to be enough to kill the battery after a couple days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Probably a faulty flasher/relay.
A subsequent problem is that if your battery is (has) drawn down dead repeatedly - the battery is also in need of replacement, more so if it’s +4 yrs old and won’t hold adequate charge.

Thanks EC! The battery is new this season, but I tend to go through them faster than normal.
