My uncle then recommended that I let go and pull the life support on the Lincoln and just focus on my 4CV.

Common draws of current in Mark VIIs:
interior lights
*glove box light
*under seat lights
*under dash lights
*vanity mirrors
*rear seat cortesy lights (switches down = off)
non functioning accesories
*windshield wiper motor burned out/shorted
*trunk pull down motor burned out/shorted
*windshield washer motor motor burned out/shorted
*door lock solenoids
*window motors burned out/shorted

exterior lights and their switches
brake boost motor (not sure if you have this in 1986)
AIR RIDE COMPRESSOR RUNNING (shut off the switch in the trunk, driver's side wall)
aftermarket radios (spliced wires makes all of this moot)
aftermarket alarm systems (spliced wires makes all of this moot)
aftermarket HID fog lights (you get the picture)
coins stuck in one of the three cigarette lighters (thanks NYC LSC)
BAD KEY CYLINDER IGNITION SWITCH (not ingition switch)
If I missed anything, will ANYBODY please speak up. This car should NOT get trashed/sold/scrapped/put out to pasture over a simple draw.
