CSR waterpump relay question. I have a drain on my battery, I can charge it and over night it will drop to under 6 volts. I was playing around with my battery cables and noticed when I remove the ground the waterpump relay clicks like its getting power with the key off. I don't remember this ever doing this but wanted to double check to make sure it shouldnt be energized with the key off. Thanks in advance.

Depends on how you wired it up. I have constant power to my WP Relay but the pump itself is triggered by the fuel pump. When I turn the key on, the WP comes on with the FP, then turns off with the FP, and when I start the car the WP runs constant.
If you wired a keyed on power to the trigger of your relay then it will click on and off with the key. If you wired a constant hot into the trigger then it will stay on until you disconnect the wire or the battery.
How did you wire the relay??
