thanks!

Edited to add: I read several old threads about this and may try some of the other suggestions, but it sounded like there was a how-to using the Hillman insert method that I might want to try.

I forgot to mention; your visor has two fine wires feeding the light for the little vanity mirror. These give trouble. It is extremely possible one or both of your wires have got stripped of the insulating cover. They may be connecting together, or the live feed may be connecting to the visor axle, which is metal and would connect the wire to ground, i.e. shorting it out.

If this is happening it will drain your battery. Check the wires are not stripped or broken. If they are broken one of them will be "live". Put insulating tape on them to stop them shorting the battery.
