Have you determined via which fuse the current is being drawn?

Hard to say from here, but the EEC relay should only be closed when you turn the key to start or run.

If the ignition is off & you hear the relay close when you connect the battery, try removing the connector from the ignition switch.

Does the relay click now when you connect the battery?? If it does'nt you need to replace the ignition switch.

Got a wiring diagram??
