If you have a stock ignition system the key should have no effect on the power to the turn signal switch.All the ignition switch does is to send the juice to ground,through the points.Is this actually pulling the battery down when parked? I ask this because a few years ago I talked to a man that thought he had a draw because his signal switch had power with the ignition turned off.He just didn't realize his ignition switch did not feed anything.
