I guess that you guys are having so much fun that you don't want to
actually look at the wiring diagram that is in in the later editions of THE
CLASSIC CORVAIR book, page 270. <ggg>

Charlie and Bryan,
What you are talking about next to the battery is a 30 amp circuit breaker
for the top motor. Only opens if you hold the top up/down switch too long
when putting the top down or up. There is no switch that something
mechanical about the top in the up or down position shuts off the motor. The
circuit breaker does appear in the 1965 Corvair GM Assembly Manual and a complete
circuit schematic is in the Fisher body manual. Nothing about that circuit
breaker which could cause a battery drain. But there is a relay on the
side of the top motor that is got stuck might. However, I would think the
circuit breaker would kick out.

Bryan,
Yep, that's what I remember to!
See my other longer explanation, while I dig through my brain, CC's and
CQs and old manuals for my notes.

Fairly sure I recall a limit switch setup on the top with a relay in the
engine compartment right near the battery. The fact that the drain goes
away with the top up would lead me to look at that system.
