Ignition Electrical Problem

With the ignition off and key removed, I still have an electrical drain on the system. The power windows, A/C fans and a few other things still operate. This is draining the battery. Had it diagnosed by a shop and they said that circuits 2,6 and 7 are leaking. They want big bucks to fix, but I think it is something common - like a relay or the ignition switch. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

Thank you for the information. I checked the relays as you mentioned. They are all good, however two are always engerized. One powers the windows and I could not figure out what the other one controls.
One other thing I noticed this evening, was that when you open a door, the warning buzzer sounds. I am pretty sure it is the warning buzzer that the key is still in the ignition. The key is not in the ignition when the buzzer sounds. I think there is something wrong with the ignition, it is not completely turning things off - any suggestions?
