Default Possible EFI draining battery

Hi, I have a 2005 Dyna FXDI. Every time I turn the On/Off switch on my handlebars to off position and remove the key from my bike, I see the security key flash and I hear what sounds like the EFI in behind my air cleaner making a grinding noise. It makes the sound every time the key flashes. I have traced all of the wires looking for something that may be grounded or shorted, but I'm not having any luck. If I accidentally leave this switch in the off position over night, I'm guaranteed to have a dead battery by morning. Has anyone else had this issue or can someone direct me in a better direction for trouble shooting this? Thanks for your help.
