Why did this drain my battery EDIT: Problem Isolated need new help!
I bought a West Marine 6 switch DC fused distro panel.
I plan on setting it in to me center console set up when it's all said and done so I bought some 8 guage jumper cables and cut off and put terminals on the ends. Ran the cable from the battery to the terminal panel. Didn't hook up any loads to the panel, but all the lights on the switches did work...They light up when the switch was on and turned off when the switch was off.
When I finished up for the night I made sure all the switches were in the off position. This morning the battery was dead..Down to 9.5 volts. The battery is a brand new sears platinum 880cr deep cycle marine that will eventually be the main battery in my dual battery set up.
Here's a link to the part I bought. Thanks.
