I don't think a wiring diagram would help you without knowing how the vehicle work's > The ignition switch is a low voltage discrete input to the BCM - body control module . The BCM , from the discrete input's from the ignition switch set the power mode of the vehicle .
Power Mode Master
This vehicles BCM functions as the power mode master (PMM). The ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determination the power mode that will be sent over the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this information, and so the PMM will activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed. Refer to Power Mode Description and Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.
Depending on the power mode , ACC, RUN , START etc.. the BCM will energize relay's turning on the vehicle . It is very possible that you may have a relay that the contacts are stuck closed . This would cause the vehicle to stay in a run mode .
The IGN relay contacts stuck closed would keep B+ voltage to the engine computer , transmission , air bags . This relay is located in the under hood fuse box . I'am sure there are other relays too . I will keep looking. in the mean time remove the IGN relay an see what happens .
Also the PWR/TRN relay in the under hood fuse box . This will keep the ECM -engine computer an the coil's powered up .
Plus the fuel injectors
It could also have a Power Mode Mismatch . I would think the dealer tech would have found that if it were the problem . They over look the simple an look for bigger problems .
This vehicles power mode master (PMM) is the body control module (BCM). The ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determination of the power mode. The PMM receives the ignition switch signals, and additionally a reference voltage signal from the BCM, through the ignition switch, and back to the BCM. There are redundancies within the PMM system that can allow operation of certain subsystems when there are faults in the ignition switch circuits. Other information such as serial data input from other modules and DTCs is also used to determine what power mode signals and information is transmitted by the PMM. The BCM logic uses all this information to identify the operators desired power mode and activate specific discrete signals, and serial data messages for the operation of many different subsystems as necessary. Other modules which have switched voltage inputs may operate in a default mode if the PMM serial data message does not match what the individual module can see from its own connections.
The PMM will activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed according to the calculated power mode. Several relays controlled by the BCM are switched ignition voltage outputs the are pass through circuits within the BCM directly from the ignition switch. If these circuits short to ground, the fuse to the ignition switch will open.
Some system functions may operate one time and not the next with a specific fault in the ignition switch circuits depending on the vehicle operating conditions when the fault occurred.
One of the first thing's would have been to check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's in all the modules on the vehicle .
Plus looking at ignition input's to the BCM ,to see what power mode it think's it's in .

Do you have an aftermarket alarm or other system hooked up to the ignition system?
You need to provide the specific year, engine size, and model Acadia as well, such as if it is an LT or not for a proper diagram. Even with a wiring diagram, it's going to be a needle in a haystack that you will be looking for.
This sounds like you have some sort of aftermarket system that has a relay or capacitor that is delaying the cut off to the switch, which will explain the delay in shutting off and the drain on your battery.
Here's a test I would start with to see if you can narrow things down...
Remove the positive cable and hook a test light between the post and the positive cable and the test light will light up. Go to your fuse panel and pull each fuse one at a time and replace it, going from one to the next until the light goes out. That will be the circuit that is causing the drain. Hopefully you will be able to isolate the offending device, and hopefully correct the back feed into your ignition system at the same time.

how do you change the low beam light bulb on the 2008 gmc acadia
SOURCE: 2003 GMC Envoy-the blower motor will not shut off
the connector fpr the resister which should be located close to blower motor counld be melted from overheated resister. you should check and replace resister and connector.this should be your fix. thanks and good luck.

I had this problem, and ended up having to disconnect the theft system because I could no longer start the van.
SOURCE: GMC Acadia Battery?
I have been having this problem after 40K miles now. I dont know if its the battery or the fact that GM, in all its infinate wisdom (NOT) decided to use a LAN system for everything in the car. This means that EVERY circuit is ALWAYS powered, whether the car is on or not. This is why, if you try to find a switchable fuse to tap into for a radar detector or Garmin you wil be unsuccessful. Also, this is why the cigarette lighters always on. Im not sure what the actual load is on the system when the car is off due to the LAN being powered, but it could be enough to kill the battery after a couple days if the alternater hasnt been run to charge it up.
i have had a radar detector hooked up for about a year now which is ALWAYS on, even when the car is off and it has finally started to take its toll on the battery, I think. The problem isnt your specific car, its the way they designed ALL of them.
SOURCE: How do I change the
Looking under the hood, there is a black box on the right with 6 or 8 torx head screws. You will need (I think)T-25 Torx bit and atleast a 6" extension. It still needs to be finnagled out after being unscrewed. It's not too difficult of a task, but may take 20mins or so if you've never done it before.
