clock, radio stays on

[roadboy]

hey, it just started with this problem, everything was working fine. but then a day ago i saw my clock light light up. i can also turn on my radio
my cig light is on as well.

what could cause the clock and other acc on?
checked radio wiring, behind dash,

ign seems ok, still can go to acc and crank, but when i put it to the lock position is dosent turn off the clock ect.
i dont know how to test it. any teach me? :icon_bigg

To use the diagram you originally posted.
The two connectors shown are the connectors for the ignition switch.
unplug the connector, you will be testing the ignition switch side of the plug (not the body harness side)
With an ohm meter, probe the two terminals shown in the diagram.
For instance, to test the acc mode, put the leads on terminal 3 and 4. you should get a low reading (like you do with the two test leads touching each other). Any reading indicates continuity. So in acc mode you should have continuity between 3&4 but no other terminals.

In "ON" 2,3,4 should have continuity with each other, and 7&8 should have continuity with each other, but the two sets do not have continuity between them, and so on.

so the switch works fine, im also checking fuses
20ADOME- ( is the culprit, making my clock, radio and cig on)
tried pulling gauge-(good, dosent work when i pulled it out)
radio-(i pulled the fuse and it still works)
cig-(pulled the fuse, the cig light still works)

any suggestions?\
i tried taking apart my column, covers, center bezel, couldent find any wires touching or frayed.
unless i change my cylinder barrel (not switch)

thats what i meant up top....

 

[roadboy]

thats what i meant up top....

how do you take that out?
i looked at it and its all metal around it, heard about this thing above it where u push down, but it wont come out even in acc.

http://www00.mailcar.net/catalog/in...in_page=product_info&products_id=190418576011 havent done one of these yet myself but done them in other cars. should just have to take off same stuff to get to switch, and it should come out. sometimes have to twist/turn it to get it to come out
