1st let me thank the responses on my brake fluid leak.  I think I've got it
nailed.

Now I've attacked a long-standing electrical drain.  I've narrowed it down to
two different problems.

The first is from the alternator.  Both brown wires that plug into the
alternator are draining power with engine off and key out of ignition.  Why?
What could cause this?

Second source is on the circuit that goes through the rheostat.  I will get
behind the dash and unplug the purple wire to the rheostat to see if this
stops the drain.  Has anyone had this problem?  Was it the rheostat itself or
one of the panel lights?

Thanks in advance.
