Ok, the Simpsons was delayed so I had time to run and take the reading. I had to use a different meter so that introduces an element I'm not happy about but I can take another reading tomorrow with the same meter I used for the prior readings.

With the key on I read 12 to 12.1 V at the constant power lead to the relay. the reading with this meter without the key on was 12.4-12.5 so it seems inconsistent with the other meter to some degree.

Thanks again
Steve A
