325i convertible fuse help! FUSES 4,5, and 6 hot when car is off!!!!

Just bought a 90 325i convertible a week ago and the car dies after a day of sitting. I checked the battery and alternator and starter all good. Fuses 4,5, and 6 are hot even when the key is out. The check control above the mirror stays on, the 13 button clock stays on bright and the wipers and turn signal work when the key is out. all these systems are drawing power with the key out off the car. any ideas what could be causing this.

I have changed the ignition switch, changed the turn signal stock. check the fuses and relays all good i think i might have a short in a wire somewhere causing it to complete the circuit.

Does the car have any aftermarket electronics (radio, alarm, etc)? If so there's an excellent chance that the equipment has been improperly installed and is the cause of this problem. The fix is to rip out that equipment, restore the car's wiring to factory condition, and then to re-install the equipment correctly.

the car does have aftermarket radio ran strait to the battery for power i did disconnect that wire and still have this problem and radio is off could it be another wire maybe?
