anyone?

 

well the ignition is a simple switch - it just wont do that. So it must be something else wired in, like an alarm or timer circuit (turbo timer for example) that bypasses the ignition switch.

 

You are not the first person this has happened too amigo. I had/have this same problem and others have had it too. I found that it is an accessory relay that is not clicking off when the key is set to the of position. I figured this happens from tapping into wires to run gauges and other things and the circuit being tapped might be pulling to much and doing something to the relay contacts. Or I could be totally wrong. Now what I did was replace the accessory relay. This one is on the driverside floorboard. You see your fuse panel.. then there is a cluster of wires all running into a square plastic wire separator above the fuse panel. Ok so now you get a 10mm socket and loosen that stuff up and pull it out a few inches if you can. behind there is a brown relay and I think a green or blue relay. Replacing the bigger relay is the one that fixed my problem. The skinny/smaller one is for the rear defroster. I got some used relays from the junkyard and replaced that one and the one under the hood. Under the hood just look under the relay cover to find the one under the hood on driver side I think. Now that being said I still have it happen time to me from time to time and I have to turn the car on (engine) and then back off and the lights go off. It's weird and I'm sure I developed some other issues in all the crap thats happened to me but most are fine when just replacing those relays. If you were to see the voltage being drawn when you turn off the car it would be 3 or 4 millivolts which is like nothing but over a week or two it would draw down a good battery to a very weak state if not dead. So get a starter and some relays!

 

haha thanks alot man i will try that as soon as i get some cash. Do you think it could just be a bad ignition as well if the relays dont fix that? a starter should be on the way soon and i can prolly hit the junkyard in a couple days. ill let you know how everything goes

 

Im having the same problem i did swap the relay but lights still wont go outis there anything else i could check

 

I'm not too sure. Maybe some other relays just swap them all lol. It still happens to me from time to time so I haven't quite figured it out perfect yet. If you were to try to find it yourself on a schematic you would look for all the circuits that have power with the key in the position 2 accessory position. Something in there or a relay in there is not turning off.

 

i used a test light on that relay and when i turn the key off the relay is still getting power is the problem with the wiring or the relay seat seems like that is the relay that is sticking

 

I think it's the sticking relay. The relay should switch to off when you cut the current via the ignition.

 

ok i have a question been goin bannas with the test light all morning. When i turn the ignition on all relays activate, and when i turn ignition off ignition relay deactivates but ignition is still getting power. im thinking i have a wiring issue do you think its thw switch from the colum not sending the signal or do i have the wires crossed from the sr swap?

 

ok nvm end all be all the ecu is shot its not powering down the realys to cut power thax for all the help

/maybe so, if you change the ecu and it fixes it for good post it back up if not post it up also.
