Datsun 710 L20b parasitic battery drain

Anyone know what these 2 relays on my 76 710 are for/what they have in common and why they might be energized while the key is out.

I don't do instagram so no picture.

 

I will say that there should be no relay energized with the key out. Over a long weekend the battery would be quite drained. The only thing drawing power would be the electric clock. 

 

So where are these relays?

The relays are beside the battery behind the washer fluid reservoir.

If you hook everything back up and undo the 2wire quick connect from the alternator the relays drop out 

Short in the alternator?

 Have you replaced the alternator recently?

watch the 20 to 45 secs in to the vid.

 

one can disconnect the fuses or the alternator if you think a alt diode is shorted..or carb choke realy ect..... till the test light goes out

I pulled the alternator and took them to our local genius starter/alternator rebuild guy so he should be able to see if there's something to be done there.

Electrical is so beyond me, I appreciate all the tips here!!

At best this is a guess. Alternator genius will be glad to rebuild it for you. Did you unplug alternator to see if this shut the relay off. Did it occur to you that it might be the choke heater relay? headlight relay? inhibit relay or ignition relay?

 

Again have you replaced this alternator recently???
