ok i got this 93 240sx last night and i went through it this morning.put a new battery in it to make sure all the electronics work and to my surprise they didnt. the motors blown but i got one in the garage so thats not my concern, what is however is that when i pull the key out of the ignition its as if its still on. all the lights pop up,interior lights stay on, cluster lights are still on and for some reason they put an s14 steering wheel in there, if anyone has any idea as to what might cause this all the help would be great. ill post pics of the car when i get home from work tonight. thanks again!

if it has electric fans they could be generating enough power to keep some of the electronics going.

its just the cel and the e brake light that stays on and under the dash those light sometime will stay on.you think if i install a kill switch that would be wise so that way my battery wont die?the only thing stopping me from doin any work is the damn cherry picker, i dont have one.
