Anything look abnormal?

Working to find what is killing my battery and going nuts! I snapped a few pics of the area near my fuse panel. Anyone see anything abnormal? I am a little interested in the odd splicing shown in pic #3. there is a white wire with a red stripe on both sides of a green wire which is spliced in the middle? looks a little rigged to me? What does the white/red wire control? Is that a factory splice? Should I eliminate the green wire and simply join the white/red wire leaving only 1 splice, or just leave well enough alone?

Re: Anything look abnormal?

Looks like in pic 1 the red /white turns into yellow at the next splice. It does seem a little unnecessary but if the connections are good it shouldn't be a problem.

To help narrow down your draw on the battery, disconnect the + side of the battery and hook up a 12 volt light bulb between the battery and the battery cable. If there is a draw with the key off the light will be on. There is current going thru the system. Start pulling fuses one at a time until the light goes out. When you find the fuse that makes the light go out it will show you the circuit that is drawing down your battery.
