Battery drain / faulty relay?

Post by e24nut »

My 89 e24 becker radio no longer turns off with the ignition which explains why i have been having a parasitic battery drain... any ideas? Faulty ignition lock? Relay? Wiring short? This problem has got me stumped.... Especially as i haven't changed anything. I tested the master relay with a 9 v battery it opens when voltage spplied to 85/86 and has continuity between pin 30 and 87/87a. May be a job for an suto electrician.... Any ideas?
