The timer relay is one of the relays in your fuse block under the dash.

I got a switch from the local parts store, can't remember what brand and all.

Not sure where to start looking for the draw down, there isn't anything obvious that jumps out at me. I have had trouble with the driver's door switch. It went bad quite a few years ago and so I replaced it only for it to go out again a couple of months later.

I realize that a battery switch is a band-aid but I don't have the patience nor the knowledge to go tracking down every run in the light circuit. It is my secondary rig and I don't drive it much, maybe once a week so I don't really care about resetting the clock or the radio. Things would be different if it was my daily driver.
