1983 300SD Turbo Diesel - Flood Light Issue

I never used the floodlights before. Just never needed them. The other day a rock kicked up and broke the lense of one. So I found a replacement and swapped it out. Then I tried to turn them on from inside the cabin. I flipped the switch on and nothing. It was dark and I forgot to flip the switch off. You guessed it, the next day the battery was dead.

So I got out the trusty multimeter and I am no expert, believe me. However, I get .1 ohms when touching the leads together. I pulled the floodlight switch and with the switch off....nothing, then I turn it on and with the meter I get .1 ohms. So the switch looks good. I did the same thing with the flood light fixture and with the bulb that goes inside and I got .1 or .2 ohms.

I feel comfortable the switch, light fixture, and bulb are good. Have any of you experienced a problem like this before? Where would you recommend that I start tracking the problem down. A lot of wires in these cars as you know. Any guidance is appreciated. Rick
