The only explanation I can come up with would be that a relay is malfunctioning.





^^^
All the relays in your car have constant power from the battery(terminal 30 in the picture), and they are also connected to the ingition/fusebox via terminal 86 or 85. If there was an internal short circuit inside the relay it could potentially send current back into the ignition switch or fusebox and turn on either an individual circuit or possibly the entire car depending on the circuit path.


Try pulling one fuse at a time until you find the circuit that is powering on your car. Obviously any device that is on will shut off when you pull the fuse in its circuit, so you are looking for the fuse that will kill ALL the incorrect power when pulled not just its individual circuit. Alternatively, you could pull relays instead of fuses to find the problem, but these are more difficult to remove.
