Electrical Phantom!

[leskid]

Hi everyone - I'm a newbie here and hope someone can help. I just bought a nice clean '90 Century as a winter car and the electrical system SEEMS to be stuck in accessory mode, even when the key is out. When key is out, symptoms are:
1- LED clock on radio stays on
2- trunk release still works
3- battery seems to be draining while car isn't running.

Any thoughts? Anyone?

thanks in advance!

well i don't know whats wrong with ur car but i know the trunk release doesn't work on accessories. The key MUST be on and in park not neutral. The battery might be draining because of the slight electrical problems you've encountered.

for 1 and 3 i would think you would need to check wiring

I had a simular problem the ignition switch was going bad.
