isproblems

Ok, so I have a 2002 IS300, Automatic. It is causing me hell. I will try and be as short and sweet with this as possible, as I need all the help I can get. Helpful comments will be greatly appreciated and I will try to answer any questions as soon after as I can.

Problem: when the key is removed from the ignition, the car still has power to the following parts:
Cluster
Daytime running lights/ headlights/ fog.
Climate control, a/c, clock, and temp.
relays that click alot under the hood
seat movement.
sunroof

(the only way to kill power is to unhook the battery)

I have access to tons of parts because I work at a shop that dismantles these cars on a regular basis. so here is a list of parts I have changed...

Replaced:

driver fuse box, and pink box.
anti theft warning module (seemed to help for a day)
daytime running light module (seemed to help for 2 days)
abs anti skid module
ignition switch.

also tested the immobilizer.

car has had a front end collision in the past, very minor, fender headlight hood, and possibly was stolen at some point, before my ownership.

I am also tracking down a problem with the abs/trac system, code C1226. Seems unrelated though.

My guess would be a bad ignition switch but that's a guess. Had a friend with this issue on an older truck and that was the problem for him. But I just read that you replaced it too... so this post is pointless lol sorry
