Check Gauges Light Barely Flashing and it Runs the Battery Down

[tbauer03]

Three things happened before this started.
1) I was moving wires around the fuse block between my switched ign outlets and the lamp switched outlet to do some troubleshooting with my Holley Dominator.
2) My 2 year old daughter was playing with every switch, button and/or lever around the dash and steering column while really enjoying the horn.
3) I started the truck let it run and then shut it down

Then with the key in the off position the audible warning chime like the headlights have been left on and the check gauges light faintly started to blink .

The only way I can kill the warning chime is too pull the hazard/light fuse but even then the check gauges light gives a faint pulse and over time depleted the battery.

I didn't notice anything obvious like lights being left on and I started pulling fuses one at a time but couldn't figure out.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Figured it out. Had both Holley ecm and transmission harness plugged into the fuse panel. Instructions said if you had them tied together to one point the engine would never stop running bc the transmission would keep it on. That didn't happen and I had them in two different ports thinking that would be different but it's not instead of keeping the engine running I suppose it kept power to the transmission and drained down the battery. I moved the ecm wire to the pink steering column wire. And it all seems ok.
