Hey guys,
Today my '02 Cavalier didn't start because the bat died and I noticed that it was because even when the car was off the cooling fan was still running. Thought it was just a relay problem and just had to replace the relay, but also when the car is off the radio stays on. I'm a n00b at cars, so would this just be the main electrical relay or computer or what?
Thanks,
-Matt

sounds like the ignition switch is not in sync-- try wiggling it to and fro to see if things straighten up...

Yeah, I have tried that, turned it about 10 times and wiggled it. The fan will go off somtimes which is kind of wierd but the radio never goes off.
