<VV> Battery drain source?

[Jim Becker]

I don't believe there is power to either side (safety or backup) of that 
switch unless the ignition is on.  It is one of the few switches that can't 
be a cause of a battery drain.  By the way, the switch is under the dash but 
not under the whole car.

Lots of places can cause a battery drain, requires some diagnostic work to 
find it.

Corvairs don't have a "p".  Will only start in neutral.
