Default 68 Coupe - Electrical Questions

Two electrical questions; first, the dome light will not come on when the drivers door is open or from the light switch, when you open the right door, it works fine. I've replaced both the headlight switch and the dome light switch in the left door pilar.

Second; the dash lights come on when you turn on the ignition switch to the first stop. There is an after market radiio with a direct wire run to the battery for the memory on the radio. There is a constant draw on the battery even with the switch off that drains the batttery. Any suggestions will be apprecited.

For the first, use this to check:

For the second, use this:

For the radio, try disconnecting one circuit at a time, it and see what happens.
