Default Problems with battery

Just finished a battery relocate to trunk, everything worked great after install.

My question is I have a ewp, and the lead to turn on the pump when the car is started is run by the fuel pump prime, does the fuel pump prime have juice regardless of whether is the key is turned on or off?

I have a problem with the battery going dead in about 3-4 days if the car is not started. (Had this problem before the battery relocate)
thanks

How are you running the EWP off of the fuel pump prime connector?! 12v to that lead runs the fuel pump. It's not a 12v source.

And it should be obvious if the pump is running with the key off. Have you tried listening?

You have a 12v wire grounded somewhere if you have 12v goin to that Prime wire..something is crossed somewhere.
