major electical problems

Hello> I have a 1986 9000 turbo with 225K miles. I have been having some bad electrical problems with it where It would drain my battery while it was parked. I tracked down a 3 amp drain from a bare wire and then I also found another 1.5 amp drain from the main computer. I was wonderinf if the drain from the computer is normal. I know this car had the spark plug conditioner but I didnt think it would be enough to drain my battery.
Also I know that all of the insulation is falling off of the wires in this car. Most of the electrical things in this car dont work. Or they work all the time. I am constantly blowing fuses and I have just given up replacing them. Did Saab ever have a recall because of the insulation falling off? If not I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for new wiring harnesses. I checked the dealer and they want $2500 for just the main wire bundle. Thanks for any help with this matter.
