Kevin, 

Maybe I can help.  

- 'Live' wires means they have electricity running
through them, but if they are not connected at one end
they aren't 'drawing' any current. So if they are just
loose wires cap them as Julie suggests.

- Grounding said live wires WILL create a current
flow, creating that pesky draw you are either after to
get some work done OR want to avoid (and in doing so
avoid also smoking wires and draining batteries.)

It's not really like plumbing or airflow, you don't
really have to run a loose wire TO anything if it's
not needed.

Now, on the other hand, if you have some unexplained
current flow and it's draining a battery down, say
overnight or a long weekend then you should really
track something like that down and fix it.

Can you 'splain some more as to what the wires
are/were and perhaps what color they are?


hth,

mmmm, electrons- yummy.
