No it doesn't but o tried it on my friends 91 and it doesn't stay in but it works still

You might have the fried ICU (Integrated Control Unit) that is a common problem in g2s.

I'm not sure about 2nd gen integras but my defroster wasnt working either so i replace the button that gets pushed. bought it for 5 bucks off a guy that sold me my hatch glass. replaced it and viola. it worked.

I don't think the button is supposed to stay in?
Mine doesn't anyways..

You might try replacing the button, hell, maybe it's just the light bulb in the button thats bad lol.

I tried replacing it...I think it might be that icu thingy

I guess I didn't read that well enough.

 

[mr abero]

Where is the icu located and what does it look like?

The ICU is a little circuit board inside a plastic box somewhere behind the driver-side fuse panel. I'd try finding a replacement first, but there is a guide on G2IC for fixing it.
