what causes battery drain in a full system

So we checked everything with a meter and everything seems wired correctly. We think last time he showed someone his stereo he left the car in accessory mode. We will monitor for now. Thanks for the input, much appreciated!

Does the Accessory mode not switch off after a while? I recently walked out of an "event" and waited in my Z while my wife endured the event until the bitter end. I was listening to my radio in Acc mode and was shocked that it switched off after 20-30 minutes. I figured that was by design, but I had never had another car that did that. Of course, I might have accidentally bumped something while sitting there.

Good luck figuring it out.
