How do you stop the light around the ignition keyhole on 1991 Dodge Shadow to turn off it always stays on and drains the battery?

I don't know long this question has been on the site, but I recently had the very same problem and was disappointed to find no answer here. However, with some diligent digging I discovered the solution and will now offer it here. Even if the original questioner has long since moved on from their Dodge Shadow, this may prove useful to someone in the future who has a similar problem. The problem is a faulty relay that's supposed to turn off the light shortly after the key's removed from the ignition but doesn't. The solution is to either replace or remove the relay. I don't need the light, so I pulled the damned thing out, and now I no longer have to keep the battery charger at the ready! To find the relay, look up under the left side of the dashboard. There you will find an array of round metallic electronic components sticking down. The one you want is a little bit bigger around than a roll of life-savers, but not as long -- about an inch and a half. It may be difficult to pull, but yank that sucker straight out and your problem will be over. Or you can replace it for about $20. Good luck!

You want to try to uplug your battery to take off your check engine light does the car have to stay on?
Never unhook the battery with the ignition turned on. There is always a little voltage spike that occurs when disconnecting or reconnecting the battery. If the ignition is on the computer will be powered up and that spike could "fry" the computer.
What happens if you connect the ground wire to the terminal and the red wire to the - terminal on the car battery ie connect the battery backwards but did not start the car?
once a battery is connected even if the key is not in the ignition, there is always power at certain points in your car. Connecting a battery backwards will not start your car, but it can and will fry the wires to your starter.

Run the RED wire to a circuit controlled by the ignition switch. Only the yellow wire should run off the battery, or an "always hot" circuit.

A shadow always appears. If you are solid, you create a shadow. If the light source is directly overhead, your shadow may be cast behind you. Just turn your head, and I assure you, your shadow will be there.
When removing a car battery which post do you remove first the positive or negative?
First make sure nothing is on and the ignition is off, with the doors shut. If you have a under-hood light remove it while changing the battery. Always remove the negative cable first and connect it last when reconnecting the cables.
