Remove battery cables from battery-Clean with terminal brush--even if they look clean,and clean battery posts.Leave cables off and charge battery.
NOW-start checking, almost everything feeds from starter relay.MAKE SURE IT IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL.
A volt/ohm meter is helpful,at minimum a test light[cheap].

I Have Already Cleaned The Battery Forgot To Post That Are You Saying It Might Be The Starter Relay Itself Is Drawing Power

Double check your cables -look for corrosion both of them--if you find corrosion in cable,under insulation,replace cable.You can check voltage w/volt meter.Be sure battery is good, and fully charged.Could be relay.Could be any number of things.Guessing-bad ground.

Also check the back of your alternator to see if you bumped/broke/knocked a wire off.

check the wire harness to the alternator
they corode after years of use
take the wrsping off the harnness and probe them with a test light to make sure they are hot
the harness i think is on pssenger side under hood along fender well

if you replced all that stuff
then there is a bad connection between the battery and alternator

did you replace the battery? If not check for voltage from the poss post to anywhere on the battery.
