Angry BIG Wiring Problem! HELPPP!

So everything inside my 1998 jeep cherokee base model is hot. My wipers,headlights, signals, heater, radio, and cigarette lighter are all working without the key? I replaced the ignition switch and put a brand new battery in about a month ago! Now my battery dies if i leave it sitting overnight!!! I have tried everything but i keep coming up empty handed! Help please.....

Did these things happen immediately after replacing your ignition switch and battery? Remember, the ignitions switch is adjustable and if adjusted incorrectly will function incorrectly.

Edit: I'm not at all familiar with Chrysler columns and may be completely off on the adjustability.
