Its wire B13 It would be the BLACK wire. It grounds at Splice Pack SP-208. That grounds at Chassis Ground G-104 which is on the frame next to the battery.

I took the panel apart and found there was no bulb at all in the socket. I'm thinking that putting a fresh bulb in there should solve the problem.... as long as the guy wears his seat belt

this wasn't so much a project as a repair. Frank of Frank's Vettes is the mechanic that does most of the work i don't have the experience, tools or time to do. He's been having trouble with a few instument cluseters that are drawing a significant amount of amperage causing the battery to drain. I tested all the circuits for resistance and believe the problem to be the "seatbelt-off" bulb in circuit #B2 . I'm hoping that's the problem because it's causing the readings on ALL the circuits to have 203 M-ohm more resistance than usual.

I'd think that the last thing that you'd have is power drain with all of the power saving led's that are in your car!
I was hoping that it was a Cool project, but I hope that fixes it for you!

The IPS wan't from my car. it was from one of Frank's Customers. I'm considering swapping out my IPC bulbs for LEDs pending what Tstar has to say about his experience.

203 Mega Ohms might as well be an open....I don't think that is the source of your current drain problems.
