Idiot lights staying on w/key out

[SMM]

I am having an electrical issue. Figured I would get some suggestions here while I troubleshoot and check the FSM.

A few lights on my cluster will stay on once the key is removed. The lights that stay on are battery,brake,seatbelt,airbag possibly a few more but that is what I remember as of right now. This is a recent problem, car has never done this before.

This will only happen once I have turned the ignition on and back off. If I take the battery terminals off and put them back on nothing stays lit up.

Remove your turbo timer. If you don't have a turbo timer. Then check your ignition key.

the EXACT same thing happened to me.. i missed a plug on the lower harness to the alternator.. problem fixed. goodluck

[thinhthan]

I don't got a turbo timer and all the plugs are in on the alternator

ohh, i forgot, alternator might be going bad, theres like 3 resistors or diodes, i forget, but if one goes then i think it will have problems like the, right?

[thinhthan]

Hmm that could be right but it happens after the first turn of the key. Everything will be iff if you just hooked up the battery

[Shift n Drift]

thats prolly cause the alternator hasn't spun after the re-hookup of the battery, do you have a wine in your speakers everytime your on the gas and engine revs?

[thinhthan]

but even if i just turn it to on the alternator isnt spinning. and iono i bought the car with a blown motor and i just stuck my s14 motor and stuff in. but it was doing this before i even did the swap

Ended up being a bad diode in the ECU.
