It's possible you have a wiring error on your terminal strip, but for starters remove the white wire from pin 2 and see if that fixes the excessive current draw problem. Looking at your picture it seems to me that you have that white wire from pin 2 going to the negative side of that cap?

now wait, L1 is the Focus Coil, which doesn't make any sense because L1 and the Focus Coil are marked as two separate items on the schematic...
