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.

That didn't work... but i may have pulled the wrong one

While i was in there this last time however, i'm finding that my windows roll up and down w/o the key, but the radio does not come on... I was under the belief that the windows and the radio were on the same or parallel circuits...

Anyway, i'll try pulling some fuses when i get home if i cant figure anything else...

Just for sh!ts and giggles though, I know i have some kind of alarm system in my car, and it doesn't seem to spiffy, but (seeing as i have no remotes, i set it by poping the hood, and key-ing the ignition) Could a remote-start mechanism be fcuking something up? Because i was inspecting it while i was under their, and it seems to be shoved intheir rather crapily, and with wires running everwhere, and me jumping in and out of the car in the rain, i may have kicked something & grounded it out or something...

Yeah definitely, especially since pulling the ignition switch plug didn't do anything, that means it's being bypassed.
