Default del sol rear defog switch light stays on all the time?

The rear defog switch light (over the bezel top) stays on all the time without the key in it as well. I notice there quite a few wires that go in the back of the switch so is there a relay built in there too? besides that with the key off are the switches even powered? Any suggestion would be great. Might just need a switch but id rather ask to see if anyone had this problem. thanks

If the del Sol switch is anything like the Civic's, there's a built-in time delay relay inside the switch for North American market cars. It does sound like the switch is bad -- or there's a poor ground somewhere or crossed wire. Can you confirm that the defogger is actually on? Get a multimeter and test for voltage across the back glass at the two connectors.

Crap. I didn't mean time delay .... it's just a timer. Stays on ~25 mins.
