Anyone any idea what could be causing the battery drain?

The connector is completely separated from the chassis. Oddly, fiddling with that connector doesn't make a difference in the tail lights working or not.

When I brightened the image up a bit, I could more easily see the corrosion. Yikes.

That rust you see is likely just start of your rust problem. Need to pull inner fender to look @ upper frame.

Wires don't like edges of frame etc touching them. Pull C500 apart if needed to look @ bottom of wires better.
Even then rusted metal "swells" & may cut into the wires where wires go thru the body & frame farther down & very hard to see or fix.

C500 has 3 parts:
1. body section
2. engine section
3. "taillight" section that may have Cruise servo & other options.

3 is nested into 2 then both connect to 1.
