Default Odd Ignition Switch Drain Problem.

Hi, I'm having a wierd problem with my car since I owned it. First, I noticed the ignition key always felt a little warm to the touch (its pretty cold out, so that's defintely not normal). Sometimes, when I'd pull the key out it would beep like the key's still in (untill I bang the column). Now, something has been draining my battery. At first I thought it was a charging issue, replaced battery n alternator (both were bad anyways). I just had my battery checked out yesterday and it came out good (although drained). I checked it with a voltmeter, 14.2v running and 12v off, so that checks out as good. Got home last night, pulled the key out and the blower motor was still running?!? Nothing else though (that I could tell). Shut everything down, woke up this morning and the car was dead as a rock. I'm going to try and find a ignition switch and put one in (hope a 90-93 accord one will fit)... Any suggestions? I'll post up what I can find.

part numbers for the prelude and accord are different.
i think there are two connectors on the prelude wire bundle, whereas the accord switch has a single connector.
