I found my 951's battery dead a few days ago, so I hooked it up to the charger and noticed the fresh air blower going (with the key off).

I pulled the G1 relay and the fan went off, so I figured the relay was toast and ordered a new one.

I got a new relay yesterday and plugged it in and the fan still ran with the key off.

Investigating further, I found the power windows work, as well as the radio and the rear window defroster. The wipers have some power to them - you can hear their relay click when you push the lever, and the wipers shiver a little. But not enough power to run the wiper motor.

None of the instruments light up with the key off or out and the car starts and runs normally.

I know there's a feature described in the owner's manual that the windows will work with the key removed until one door is opened and closed. But I don't see anything in the manual about the other equipment operating. The equipment still doesn't go off when you close the door with the key out.

Which leaves the ignition switch as culprit? Anyone ever had a switch fail in this manner?
