Hey guys just put a motor in my 97 civic dx (d16y7). Everything went good. Now i've been tracing down some electrical problems i'm having. Parking lights stay on after the car is shut off. We have removed the car alarm that was previously installed, all fuses have been checked and verified, and i've taken out the headlight switch and cleaned all contacts. The switch works fine but once the car is off no matter how you turn the switch the lights stay on. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Not sure why the system ghosted your last post.
Did the lights turn off with the switch but come back on when the key is turned off?
Did the lights turn off while the headlight switch was unplugged?

No the lights never go off and no the switch being unplugged the lights still stay on. I'm thinking its the ground to the lights i've read its the black/red wire. Is that the only one?

No matter what the lights stay on. I can turn the switch and the headlights will work. But once you turn it back the parking lights still stay on. No the lights stay on even when the switch is unplugged. Is the red/black wire the only one that goes to the parking lights?

Got it fixed today. I started tracing wires to make sure they were good. Pulled fuses under the hood and low and behold the radio backup fuse was keeping it on. Just need to rewire my cd player to keep memory
