Default Blower motor wont go off after key is pulled out, defrost light wont go off nor vent

Hello,

Going through the manual right now hopefully find what burnt out, Im guessing a resistor somewhere or something like that.

Anyone have experience.

The blower motor works at its given speeds, meaning at 0 its off, at 1 low etc etc, but if I leave it at any speed ( say 1-4 ) and turn off car it still stays on. ( the blower motor wont go off when key is pulled ).

also the little light for the defrost wont go off ( meaning defrost is not turning off ? ) and the little light for the vent direction doesnt not go off either when I turn off car and pull key.

This is draining the battery very slowly.

After reading the service manual, seems like my climate control unit is damaged and need to source another one.

Not related to ignition switch.

I will pick one up on the weekend and swap them, hopefully will work.

Thanks for the inputs, And if anyone has more info please post away.

Brian is 100% correct. I have a 93 DelSol Si Canadian model, and my running lights, blower motor, heater switch lights and other accessories would all stay on with the key off and out of the ignition.

I removed the A/C relay (for me it was near the condenser) and solved the problem.

Thank you Brian13060!!!!

Add my '93 Del Sol to the list of cars fixed by this post. I had checked the ignition switch, relays near the fuse boxes, and was about to replace the climate control box.

Thanks for posting Brian.

Bringing it Back! This Fixed my Problem on a 94 Accord ALSO!!!


My Climate Control would have the Fresh Air / Re Cirk Air lit up key in or out.

I could turn on my heater without turning the Key on

Unplugged the Bad AC Relay on the front of the cat and BAMMM Fixed!
