Key off but battery draining down?
With the key off I am showing a current draw on the battery, I checked all fuses with the key off and the under hood front left box showed some hot fuses there but they do not seam to be the problem. I attached a test light between the ground cable and ground post and am getting a draw as if a light or something is on, or maybe a relay is stuck closed, need help about now.
Thanks

You will need to disconnect each fuse box to localize the hot circuit then fuse by fuse.
Years ago, before cell phone cameras,I Had a drain in a BMW Bavaria; wound up being the trunk light due to a indentation in the plastic liner so the switch was always on.
Start with the trunk light and glove box . . .

Bill,
+1 on Jim's advice. Light bulbs you can't normally see are prime suspects.
Note that depending on the model, it takes 30 to 60 minutes for a Jaguar's systems to shut down to the quiescent state, and any time a door or the trunk is open you'll have light bulbs drawing current, so certain steps must be taken to eliminate confusion and wasted time. I am attaching two documents that may be helpful.
Cheers,
Don
