In my '95, the ignition switch is very sensitive (maybe broken). Even though I can pull out the key, the ignition is in the ACC position. In this position my amplifiers were left on overnight and resulted in a drained battery.
I'm wondering if your amps are powered all the time when the ignition is in the ON or ACC mode. My amps have a remote on/off that is controlled by the head unit (Kenwood) so if I leave the radio "on" and I turn off the ignition, and I'm not careful, the ignition is actually in the ACC mode and my amps stay on...resulting in a drained battery.
