Car battery stays on even when car is completely shut off?
Had the same problem a year ago, I would completely shut off the car but the ac light would stay on and you were able to turn on the ac. I would have to disconnect the battery every time I shut off the car so it would not discharge. This problem was also accompanied by poor idling at the time, both problems went away on their own but have now come back. This morning I turned on the car and immediately the rpm started going down and the car started shaking, every time I came to a completely stop the rpm went down and the car stalled. The car accelerates fine and stays on while accelerating but I could not reach my destination without having to place the car in Neutral when coming towards a stop and revving the engine to prevent it from stalling. When I finally arrived to my location and shut off the car to my surprise the ac light stayed on and the ac was able to be turned on even with the car being completely shut off. What could be the source of this or these problems and why do they always appear together? I checked the battery, alternator, and starter which all turned out good. I was told I could have an electrical short somewhere but if this is the problem where do I find where the short is? Any info on this problem would be very appreciated.

Best to have a mechanic look at the problems to troubleshoot
Possibly a relay that supplies power to the AC sytem is sticking closed.
Try and find a diagrem of the fuse / relay board and see which one controls the AirCon and replace that.
Sounds like a computer problem.
- 2009 Honda Civic still running went shutoff completely. Now battery is dead Took my 2009 Honda Civic on about a 40 minute drive to & from my destination. I get home, turn the car off & something still sounds like it's running (fans/engine)? Went out the next morning and the car is completely dead. Any suggestions?
- What's happens to a car if you shut off the engine while you're stepping on the gas pedal? I have this 2002 Honda Accord I was playing around with that got sold for scrap. I was wondering what would happen if I held the gas pedal at about 4,000 RPMs and then proceed to shutoff the car while holding it at 4,000 rpms. I tried this, nothing bad seemed to have happened. The engine rpms quickly climbed down and the engine shut off like it should. I started the car again and everything seemed normal. Does this actually harm anything if you do this?
- My cars A/C lights stay on when car is turned completely off? I own a 1996 Honda Accord and for some reason the A/C control buttons stay lit up even when the car is completely turned off. It drains my battery so I now have to disconnect it every night. What could be causing this problem? If it's a messed up fuse where exactly is it located?
- Can you push start a car with a completely dead battery? Lets say i leave my 2001 manual honda accord's lights on for a day or two and come back to see the battery is completely drained (not even enough power for the spark plugs). Is it still possible to push start it?
