Hey guys, I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction here.
Over the weekend I successfully got the car running and driving on a megasquirt PNP unit hooked up to my stock M20B25. Overall, things have been going pretty well using Tune Analyze Live to get my tune in the ball park and safe enough to get me commuting to work.
Today I came out to my car with a dead battery and after poking around some fuses I've noticed I'm getting power to fuses 22 through 28 (26 is an used port) with the key out of the ignition.
I re-plugged in the stock ECU and checked the fuses again and they no longer have power. I have a feeling the megasquirt PNP unit thinks the key is in the ignition when it is not causing a parasitic draw on the battery. When I first installed the unit I noticed that megasquirt could be accessed regardless of the key being in the ignition with my laptop, so when I would have to power cycle it for certain settings I would have to physically unplug it and plug it back in. This doesn't seem normal to me.
Has anyone experienced this before? I've tried looking around tunerstudio for a related ignition setting, but nothing is jumping out at me.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I was mistaken about the fuses, these fuses are hot at all times regardless of what ECU is plugged into the harness. The megasquirt power issue stands though.
