CD7 Parking lights and buzzer stay on all the time!

CD7 Parking lights and buzzer stay on all the time!
As annoying as it sounds!
My '94 Accord DX keeps the parking lights (cluster lights too) and interior buzzer on until either A) The small lamp underhood fuse is pulled out or B) The battery is disconnected.
I have read a few threads on here and one points to a DRL module which my low optioned US car does not have.
Any ideas?

Possibly a faulty ICU. Have you checked the commonality of these circuits other than the Small lamp fuse?

Broke some small plastic items getting this thing out but after reading a few threads on ICU repair I though that might be it...
...but the ICU looks like new inside

Went to the local yard today and pulled a few ICU's, one is a newer style blue color and other is a later revision same brown color.
Both have same results and did not fix anything, with the key out of the ignition my parking lights and dash still stay on along with the buzzer in the ICU beeping.
I had the fuse wrong though, my apologies, the "Backup / Radio" 7.5A fuse when pulled is what gets the lights to turn off.
Also worthy of mentioning is I have no turn signals, fuse plugged in or not, and I have replaced the turn signal switch.

Check for a faulty Hazard light switch. If the hazard light switch is faulty or Missing you will have NO turn signals. Its been a while but does this vintage of Honda have a blinker relay (Iittle round can on the fuse panel in some cars, but I think its a rectangle on the top of hte fuse panel just above the ICU) Also if you find any 38600-SV7-A11 ICU at the yard, this one allows you to keep your Front marker lights and add intermittant wipers to your 94/95 model.

Angry,
Good call on the hazard switch, I had it unplugged with the trim for the center console removed. I believe it is probably faulty though or something else because it will not flash the hazards, but having it plugged in and in the off position the turn signals do function. I pulled a 38600-SV7-A11 interestingly enough but trying that one and swapping the original 38600-SV1-A01 for a 38600-SV1-A12 did not do anything sadly. I still need to pull the "small lamp" 15A and "back up / radio" 7.5A fuses to get the interior buzzer and parking lights to turn off.
I found some burned wires which I am assuming are from a shoddy radio install as the car does have an added remote wire and RCA cables. I got the car as a stolen recovery and the mega stereo I'm assuming it had in there is long gone. When I plug the factory deck I just scored at the junkyard in, it barely makes sound out of one of the front speakers which leads me to believe the radio wiring is all FUBAR.
The two burned sections I found are 1) right behind the factory radio plug the red and yellow looked fused together and 2) right below where a Cruise Control plug would be (my CD7 does not have that option) there are three plugs in a plastic holder together and the one that has half blue / half grey on the female side has a red that has melted pretty bad.
I tried cutting the wire behind the radio portion that was bad and stripping away the melted one on the blue/grey plug side to see if it would make it stop, but still the same beeping and lights on with the key removed.
Really losing my **** over this one!
