Kill Switch Parasitic Drain 300TDi Defender

I have fitted a kill switch in series with the stop solonoid and I now seem to have an intermittent parasitic draw which drains the batteries in about 2 hours.
I have also recrimped a connector going to the blower motor.
It's failed to start 2 since fitting (battery at 11.5v) but has started about 5 times. All within 48 hours! When running charge voltage is normal.
I've pulled every fuse and but no current drop on any of them.
Could the immobiliser (behind the dash as I have bypassed the one in the battery compartment) cause the problem?
Any advice?

I would suggest removing the modification (which will probably make no difference) then working out what got "broken", fix that, then re-install the mod!

Theyre not as cheap as they used to be, but that UNI-T company make a low current DC clamp meter that's great in tracking down stuff like this. Other companies make DC clamps, but most only start at higher currents.

Thanks @julianf !! Will order one and have a go! I am somewhat disinclined to take everything out again as I soldered it but needs must...will update later if I make any progress.
