HELP!!, Car not turning off Options

[D-Man]

Okay, i just pulled up to my shop, and when i turned my car off & removed the keys, the A/C kept blowing, and the internal lights stayed on. It is in park, and it clicked past ACC back to norm, but the car is not fully shutting off. My fuel pump is staying in "ready-mode" because as i toggle the key thru the ignition options, it dosen't shut-off and re-prime.

We're having a LOT of rain out right now, maybe that has something to do with it. B/c of the rain, i'd rather not go and disconect the batt (there is supposed to be a huricane goin on here, right now i'm just getting heavy rain, but i need the car ready to go incase something happends.) I really dont want my batt dieing either and having to re-charge it in our little monsoon either...

Ideas, tips, solutions?

Yeah sounds like the ignition switch is stuck on. If you climb under the dash on the driver's side, follow the ignition barrel down, (opposite where the key goes in), there's a plug with like 5-6 large wires going to it. That's the ignition switch. For a temporary fix you could just unplug that plug.

SWEET, that sounds like the kind of solution that'd be right for me for the time being! (till i get home) I'll try that the next hour when i goto re-charge the battery.

And just to make sure I've got this right: it's going to be near the gas petal, right?

And just to make sure I've got this right: I follow the ignition barrel, untill it ends; then wires flow out of it; and i'll follow the wires; to the connecting harness; and unplug their... Correct?

Not quite, you unplug it RIGHT AT the end of the ignition barrel, no following of wires needed.

Right on, but note my edit, (sorry, i was dealing with a customer)

It's near the gas petal? or atleast in that general direction, yeah? Or am i thinking of the WRONG "opposite" direction?
