I was just looking at my car and noticed my climate control lights are lit, even though the car is off... I pressed the buttons and theyre working as well... Is this normal? I dont remember the lights always being on before... what the hell happened? i didnt touch anything.

88 crx, by the way.

 

Well it shouldnt be, if the car's off and the lights are on then it's draining your battery.

 

Yeah i know i just have no idea what to do about it... I didnt touch anything, it just happened... Why though?

I figure it should be ok as long as the car is driven every day or 2... those 2 tiny lights cant be draining that much power... I guess ill find out tomorrow morning though.

 

Im looking at the wiring diagram in the service manual and its saying that the climate control gets power through the igition switch, along with the function control motor. Both of those things work. The blower though, gets power from another part of the ignition, and doesnt work.

BUT, if i had a complete circuit through the ignition switch while the car was off, wouldnt a lot more stuff be on? It sounds like im going to have to rip apart the dash to look at whatever the hell is wrong. That sucks because i hate [freak]ing with those heater controls.
