battery drain. possible headlight related

so my dads 88 t/a has a draw somewhere. he did the test light method and pulled all the fuses and relays he could find. it still light the light up.

today we noticed a issue when hooking the positive back up. when you touch the wire to the battery , the headlights will click (or retract if they are up} and the chime will chime once (sometimes). this is with all fuses hooked back up.

is this normal?

also we had the negative cable unhooked for a few days, and the battery was dead when we hooked it back up. battery was fine in plow truck all winter,

upon further investigation we found that the center console door is warped and did not shut the light off.
