It came as a surprise to me as well. When I was looking into the problem the BCM feature table, under the feature labelled Accessory power control (delay accessories bus), states that power to the audio system, windscreen wiper and other accessories is removed when the ignition is switched off. I didn't read any further.
I tried that several times and could not identify a switched power supply - I definitely had two constant feeds.
If I had bothered to read the feature detail later in the manual the answer was there in black and white.
Accessory Relay Shutdown Options
The accessory relay can be triggered to remove battery power to the accessories by either:
• Switching the ignition switch to the OFF position, or
• Opening the driver’s door.
The driver’s choice of what action affects the relay can be selected through the instrument cluster’s MFD or using Tech 2.
The default option is set to Door Open.
It pays to look into the detail as opposed to the overview. I think the clue was in the feature description - delay accessories bus. Should have tiggered a few brain cells but didn't.
Another lesson learned.
