Default 1998 GC battery drain problem...

I have traced the problem to the instrument cluster circuit, now here's whats weird. When the battery gets low, the key-in switch chimes with the key out.....putting a test light between the neg. bat. post and cable gives a pulsing light and sometimes you can hear a clicking sound like maybe a relay opening-closing in time with light. I'm new to Jeeps and am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
