Wipers, Warning light, work with key off.

I recently wired up an aftermarket stereo, and now the Warning lights and the wipers work when the key is off. This will draw the battery dead. Is there a wire behind the stereo that maybe got hooked to the stereo power supply or something that would cause this?

could be, take the radio out and check your wiring, bmw has lots of wires that may cause this, very sensative cars unfortunalty

I'll take a look @ that. Thank You. I was hoping I didn't have to take everything apart again. It took so long to get everything working. lol

Ends up the purple wire w/white tracer connected to the white antenna wire did it. I disconnected it and then it was normal again. Now my problem is that I smelled something burning, or at least got hot, now the stereo has a problem where the antenna output, or accessory output, is always on. So now my antenna doesn't go down unless I disconnect the wire from the stereo. Oh well. I just got the wiring harness for my other stereo, so I'm putting the Pioneer in.
