Niva battery leak found... Any advice?

So I stuck my multimeter in series with the ground and battery, yup, a 0.12A parasitic draw. Removing fuses one by one, I found the offending circuit. Unfortunately the entire dashboard (Kombiinstrument) circuit (F25). With that fuse removed, the draw was only milliamps.

Any suggestions from here? 0.12A is quite a bit really. Any guesses as to what dash component could cause this?

Removing the dash cover isn't really something I want to do without a plan.

What ignition on battery level do you see when you enable ignition? At this point, the engine not started, the front day drive lights are on drawing power. I ask because I had a battery replacement and despite the alternator working I'm only seeing 12.2, 12.3 volts. A new battery should be 12.6. is this voltage drop down to the lights? Or is this battery leaking over night?

Kantamus 40. Adding an adjuster buckle to create a hand loop to tighten the straps makes it much easier.

Kantamus 40.

I was googling the pros and cons. For me , it's easy. G hooks all the way. So much easier. The only plastic buckles, in my new setup, are on the tent attachment. Sometime fiddly, but less things to catch in transport. As I've posted before, having no clips on the lid is another simplification. The g hooks slip in.
