In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help.

I think I've narrowed down a problem with my car draining the battery overnight. I believe it's the ignition module but I cannot locate it.

Does anyone know where I would locate the ignition relay switch/module? I think I've narrowed down the issue with my 2009 but I cannot locate the ignition relay on the car in order to replace it
 
How do you know it's the ignition module? IPMs are not a common failure point on our cars.

Missing hood switch rubber bumbers is, however, the single most common source of battery drain on unmodified cars in my experience

Actually just a matter of "guessing" by trying to narrow down the draw on the battery when the ignition is off. The brand new battery I put in was dead over the weekend for the second time in a month. When the ignition is off I tested the fuses and there were about 7 of them still drawing power as well as a 40 amp mystery fuse that is labeled "spare". I made sure that nothing was "on" inside the car at the time. (radio, a/c etc.) This all leads me to think it's the ignition relay not switching some accessories off when it should.
