Been searching for the root cause of the wives car overnight loss of battery charge. Have checked most fuses for any amp draw while ignition is off with no luck. Alternator diodes check out good and will be checking starter solenoid and starter for possible amp draw while ignition is off. In the process of trouble shooting I discovered a purple wire under the hood that has been clipped off and next to it a gray wire leading to a small glass tube with a ball of mercury in it attached to the underside of the hood. I am curious if this bulb is an aftermarket add-on and causing my battery drain. Inside the car and coming through the firewall next and leading under the dash next the fuse panel. What I need is a wiring schematic of power sources from the ignition switch to the fuse panels. 1996 Buick LeSabre with the usual accessories and a 3.8 V-6. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
