electrical problems

:think:Okay sorry guys Im new here so please excuse me If I am posting this in the wrong spot. I Have a 91 integra …well What a project it has been so far haha. okay The main problem I would love to fix should be first. Once I start the car It seems okay …when I go to shut off the car My key will not come out of the ignition UNLESS/UNTIL I disconnect My battery ?? any solution ? Um The second problem is Once I cut the car off the fan continues/starts to run …even if I dont drive it …which drains down my battery … and its brand new … so I believe I need a new alternator and some fresh gas for starters. Um I disconnected my electrical connections for the fan for now …and when I drove the car the engine Got hot super fast so Im also going to change the thermostat just to be on the safe side .My car is an automatic also and sometimes the part on the shift release(to show what gear it is in) lights up sometimes it doesnt, and the light above my stereo doesnt work nor my cigarette lighter. Yessir my car has some issues but I love it. ANY help will be highly appreciated sorry for the long list. Even if you cant help out thanks for reading this and atleast trying Im serious thanks again g2ic take care

Let’s start with the key issue and the gear position indicator light problem, the fix is the same.

You need to adjust the “Gear Position Switch”, maybe even pull it apart and clean it.

The switch is located on the right side of gear shift housing, you must remove both the lower and upper console.

This will also allow access to check the illumination above the stereo and the lighter.

The rad fan problem may be a defective “Engine Oil Temperature Switch” or the “Rad Fan Control Module”, assuming your G2 is USDM, CDM G2s do not have the “EOTS” or “RFCM”.

Your already on the right track in regards to the overheating problem, replace thermostat, if that does not resolve problem I would get the coolant system properly flushed out.

A few questions…

Does your car have A/C?
Does the rad fan come on when engine temp. goes up?
Does your car still have the stock HU, [stereo]?
Does your car have any aftermarket “stuff” installed?
Have any “modifications” been made to your car? :hmm:94

:salute: Wow Thanks FCM for helping me out and so quickly … um Im gonna try to take that apart tonight since I dont have a valentine whoopi haha Yes my car does have a/c AND works ;lol (knock on wood) As Far as I know The radiator fan comes on only once I cut the car off … I havent checked it out after driving … No my car doesnt have the stock headunit … the inside of my car is halfway gutted right now … Um when I got the car a while back it did have an aftermarket like old time “high class” car phones installed … I disconnected it and trashed it …The only mod … I would have to say is the headlights …but my interior is gutted because I wanted to change some things… (*the lights in my gauges) uh I replaced my speedo cable just isnt hooked up yet …and my car came with a crappy aftermarket stereo so I picked up a decent one … and went to walmart to get the install kit and in the process of making something “custom” so I can have some cupholders … Thanks -Enjoivtec
