Battery drain convertible top button blinks but does not release hardtop

1991 500SL getting an electrical battery drain on SL . Installed new Mb battery. Tested each fuse with hella electrical tester. Cannot isolate where short is coming from. Has a factory installed Becker silver stone CD player that was blinking in the truck as if it was searching for cd. I disconnected the 3 wires coming from CD player. Also convertible top button just blinks red when I try to unlock the hardtop. Any suggestions appreciated.
Instrument cluster clock is not working but everything else on cluster works.

Read and erase diagnostic codes for the soft top controller from diagnostic socket #10 as explained here. Refer to the diagnostic manual for an interpretation of the codes.
