Wondering why my VPC and GCC are staying on and draining my battery. Been thru 2 batt in the past two days. Worked just fine 3 days ago. It is supposed to only come on once the key is on, 12 volt switched. It connects to the wiring harness for the computer, so it should only be on when the key is on. The VPC seems to work fine when the car is running. I cut the red wire going to the computer and that finally shut it off, but I'm pretty sure I need theses to work since thats whats telling the computer the A/F ratio.
Any ideas, or has this happened to someone before?
 
I'm using the one from HKS. I think I found the problem. My MPI relay in the center console is stuck(broken)closed so the power never turns off. Now I have to come up with $80. For now I'm just disconnecting the battery.

Going to start Solo racing again, lookin to get me some scoobies and some evo's, and most of all maybe an M3, the original reason I took this thing apart 15yrs ago.

Thanks for the reply and the offer.
