After about 2 years of troubleshooting, I finally found out why my car was dying overnight. It turns out the switch for the hood light was broken internally causing the light to stay on.
After finally getting the EVTM on CD, it became perfectly clear that I was looking in the wrong place for the switch. I just assumed it would be part of the hinge or something like that. Turns out it's the part in the front that I assumed was just some sort of hood support.
The Haynes manuals I have are pretty much a joke when it comes to wiring diagrams. I knew that if I removed fuse 34, I wouldn't have a dead battery the next morning. The haynes manuals don't even mention the hood light. The EVTM shows very plainly everything that goes to that fuse. I was getting tired of every day having to reset my radio stations. Now, I won't hav eto for a long while!
Just when I thought I might have to trade the 'styque in for something else. Now, I can spend my time doing mods.
Ah, the relief! I just hope someone else can benefit from my efforts.
