I woke up the other day to a flat battery, so feel something is amiss and draining the battery constantly, but I had no lights/blowers/etc left on overnight, so not sure what! Hopefully the two issues are related!

I don't think earth is the issue, I would check my X circuit.
Or ignition switch.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

The earth for the blower is usually on the left side of the heater box, where the Star Ground is.

Thanks for the reply! What do you mean by X circuit? Not heard that term before

X circuit, is also called the load reduction. There is a relay that makes supplies power to the blower lights and other high demand things, it is turned off at Start, and at key out, in the run position it is engaged or energized.
