Mysterious current drain

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

On Randy's Delorean VIN 3228 with automatic transmission, the starter
disable relay is energized even while the ignition is switched off. This
draws enough current to drain his battery in short order. To live with
this, he switches the battery off whenever he isn't using the car.

Can anyone say what is going on here? Was there supposed to be a starter
modification performed on this VIN in order to correct a problem in the
starter circuit and it wasn't done right? Or was it done on a car that
shouldn't have had it done? Or is there some other reason that I'm not
aware of?
