i have a 1993 100...i have to disconnect the battery every night because if i dont it would have a dead battery in the morning. after reading these forums for a while i thought that replacing the ignition switch would solve the problem...well it didnt..now im really stumped..with no key in the ignition..the windows are still able to be operated.. i do notice that the lights of the window switches on the doors stay lit at night.. perhaps theres a stuck relay someplace?...

Disconnect your battery ground and connect a volt meter between the battery and the ground cable. Then start pulling fuses until the meter shows a big drop in the load. That will tell you what circuit is your problem.
