Everything is working now but probably will draw down the battery when i get the rest of the car going.
agreed, we cannot have a key off draw. & on the other, Keep in mind that the power and ground sides are seperate & that the blue wire circuit should always be hot with key on no matter if there is a ground side issue (or not). stay in touch, we'll get back after it when the time comes

Without a ground the voltage will find the path of least resistance to ground which can do strange things.

Exactly. When any electrical issue gets crazy, doesn't make sense and/or seems to affect unrelated things, it's a ground issue. You can count on that 99% of the time.
