wiring short drains battery
 
I recently bought an 87 supra and the battery is draining.
The electronics have become wacky, driver side brake light low,
battery light indicator on, driverside rear lights not working right.
LOTSA ELECTRONIC GREMLINS !!
Any advice on where to start
Any advice much appreciated !!

The back of your fuse block corrodes pretty easily. Check that. Its a pain in the ass to get it out tho

It looks brand new. It might be a recycled battery.
