Exclamation Stuck in Accessory

So i got home last night and turned my car off, and noticed that my radio stayed on along with the radiator fans. Now i do have a microtech wired into the harness, and when you put the car in accessory mode, the fans would run, so essentially the vehicle is staying in accessory when i take the key out. I disconnected my igniton switch and it is still in acc mode. So i then completely removed the fuse block in the left side kick panel. Well the fans went off (but i think that was only because i "broke" the circuit). The radio is still on. According the schematics this is not possible. Any ideas where to start looking for melted wires or something?

Do you have an aftermarket alarm or remote start installed?

Viper alarm was installed years ago before i bought it. Checked the wiring...Nothing to the ignition system, only battery fed.

I had a problem where my fans would stay on non stop after the ignition was off and key out. I never found out why,but it only does it once in a while...I know my post wont help you but i just wanted to say something.

really? That's strange, do you have a microtech installed? and was it just the fans, or the radio too? I really just want some idea as to where to look for issues with the wiring. Unfortunitly I am tending to my sick wife this weekend (Flu), and haven't gotten to the garage with my DVOM
