1986 Mercedes 300 SDL - Battery drain high beam lights

Hello everyone

My 300 SDL has battery drain on the circuits for the radio, dash lights, and etc. Also on the circuit for the high beam lights. With the high beam lights,the fog lights would not work until I removed the fuse. After the fuse removal, they are now working. This leads me to suspect that there is some kind of a relay or switch the is sticking.

With the other circuit, once I removed the fuse there drain stopped. I would love some advice on where and what to focus on next? My care has 280, 000 miles on it and had been sitting for some time prior to my purchase.

Ron

There is a relay that cuts out the fog lights when the high beams are on.
Sorry I do not have the wiring diagrams any more... I will try to dig up the CD.
