Well I think the shop I got some work done at messed up somewhere and now I am having some electrical issues. I think there is a 12V constant feeding into the door switches. Causing my battery to die over night!

When I turn off my car and the turbo timer expires, the lights on the door switches remain on. Also I am able to open and close the windows after the car has been turned off.

I am also aware that car has the ability to have functional door switches until you open the door. But the switch work with the door open as well.

I know there are a lot of electrical gurus on this forum in the Chicagoland Area. Can anyone please help me with this issue?

Try disconecting the turbo timer and see if that stops it. Also try pulling the fuses. If they don't work with the fuse pulled you know the problem is after the fuse box. What did you have installed?

Turbo kit, turbo timer, gauges.. thats about it... i think the turbo timer is the issue. or the cause of the issue.

I would definitly take the timer out and see if you still have the problem. If you do then they may have wired the timer to the wrong. They probaly "jumpered" it to leave accessory power on. Does the radio stay on also?

Call that shop, and ask them where they ran the wiring. ;)
