Default Parking Light Prblm !!! ALWAYS ON !!

Today, for some reason after I got home, I looked at my car after I hit the alarm I saw that the left hand-side corner light was on.
I disconnected the battery and same thing. I removed the "small light" fuse and that seemed to do the trick, but when the fuse is removed I can't turn on the corner lights or make them blink.
Could it be that it has some type of short in the electrical system ?

TIA

I disconnected the battery but thinking that maybe a relay had to clear, but when i connected the battery again... the F#*&n light was still on.
I pulled the whole alarm system out thinking that i could be that but still no remedy.
And if i don't get this damn car fixed by this weekend its going to the Junk Yard

I would say pull the bulb for now until you can trace the wires back. At least the other turn signals and stuff would work. I had a similar problem on my 94. The front passenger turn signal (corner light) light stayed on no matter what I did. I unplugged the battery and left it off for awhile. The light was okay for a few hours but the same problem returned shortly after. I just unhooked the battery when I pulled it into the garage. This happened right before I took it off the road before winter so I never got around to fixing it. Does anyone know if the ecu has anything to do with exterior lighting or is there a control unit of some sort that can go bad. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'm sorta in the same boat.

THe times I've seen this, it has usually been the flasher (cheap at Pep Boys/AUtozone) probably worth replacing to see, or the HAzard switch. Try the flasher.

Would that just make one corner light act funny though?

If it's just one, it would more likely be the hazard switch, as that has all of the corners individually wired to it. Pull it out and look at the wires, see if the connections are good, etc.

I know Jspark.. i need to be patient.
Stew... another thing i think it can be is either the relay or something with the hazard switch.... but i'm gonna try to go at it again tonite .
And if i fix it i'll let you guys know.. THanks
Guessing that it my be a Control Box issue also but still don't really know, my best guess that its (#33-35-27)


But just cross your fingers... , if anyone else has input on this... hit it up!

UPDATE !!
Not the Hazard switch.... so its either gonna be a pinched wire or a light-related relay.

well.... like before... it wasn't the Hazard light switch or the Dimmer switch.
I bought a blinker relay from honda today and still did not work.
Now pulled out the inside fuse box and chased the wire and doesn't seem to be pinched or cut.
Now.... if anyone is a tech or anyone has had this happen before.. please let me know how the **** to fix it.

TIA
