I would check it by making sure the tranny is only in first gear when parked.
You therefore have no path to ground as the tranny switch is not engaged. It is
in 2, 3, 4. It makes sense to me that this would happen as the switch is on, if
in another gear power is fed to the solenoid, and the solenoid goes to ground.
I may be missing somwthing here but that is how I see it.

Question on the wiring on my TR3A (A Type) OD. My OD works perfectly well in
all gears. However, when I park it and turn off the car with the OD switch in
the on position (down) the battery will drain until it requires a charge to
start the car. I would assume this is not normal, and I have wired it
incorrectly. Any thoughts?
