Engine running with switch off

[david nelson]

I have just put in a new dash and extended some wires.

the problem is the engine will not stop running.

 

Turn on keyless switch All ok

press red button All ok BUT engine runing very lumpy

 

Turn switch off engine continues to run. the dash is off.

 

so why is the engine not switching off? Where is it geting its live feed from?

 

any thoughts

 

Thanks

David

does it run forever? mine continues running after i turn the ignition off - until it runs out of fuel as the fuel pump has turned off!

 

I thought it was TADTS but chris wyles an electric whizz who used to post on here discovered on his car that some small widget somewhere was drawing current which meant some relay or something was staying open when it shouldnt and the car/engine was continuing to be spullied power/spark and run...

 

meanwhile the fuel pump was on a different circuit and shut off properly...

 

apologies if this is too technical for techtalk 😳

Ok more info

 

battery 12.5V goes to 14V with engine running. switch off engine running and still 14v.

 

also on the keyless ignition I pulled all the conectors off at the same time and still running.

Perhaps there is an earth fault, check the earths are as before.

All sorted. It was to do with the led for the ignition light and a resistor that was not needed.

 

thanks
