Default Parking lights stay on after Swap??? WTF

Well like the title says, i did the whole swap and also and auto to manual conversion in my 92 civic dx hatch. The swap is a B18A1 with a 94+ hydro trans (not that this means anything).

The car starts and runs fine, yet the parking lights stay on even when the key is out of the ignition and the light switch is off. The only way they turn off is if I take either the POS or NEG cable off of the battery.

Does anyone have any opinions or clues. It really sucks to have to pop the hood all the time to keep a good battery.

Thanks guys

If it didn't do that before the swap just go back and check all the wiring that you did during the swap.

All I did was put the DX harness on the LS motor straight plug on except for lengthening a single wire. Weird

What about for the auto to manual conversion? Do any wiring there, reverse lights? Auto lock-out inside car, might want to check any wiring you did with that stuff as well.

If the ignition switch is bad, you will measure continuity between BAT and IG2 when the key is not inserted (= position 0).
