Help Location services turn on, no permissions given

[B Matheson]

I don't use location unless I'm using my navigation app. GPS always taps out my battery very quickly, so I only enable it in the vehicle when it's plugged in. Thus, I have always denied permission to apps for location as a default. I do this when apps are installed, and I've gone over the permissions regularly. I've spent a lot of time on this, and cannot see what app or service is turning on location services. Is there an Android or LG specific service not in my control that could be doing this?

Is there an app that will monitor location services and alert me to what and when tries to enable them? And even better, block such action? I don't notice until my phone warns me of the 15% battery level.
