Car won’t shut off!


Recommended Posts

Hey friends! My 86 Starion won’t shut off when I take the keys out the ignition, I have a good batt, fuse links near batt are good and  my alternator is good I am not sure what it could be, any help would be great thanks! Cheers! 👍🏽

Sounds  like a bad ignition switch. They are easy to replace, finding one???? You might want to have a new key made first.

Does it have an aftermarket alternator or something?  Has the wiring changed for any of that?

I installed a aftermarket 100 amp alternator years ago and my  Starion still shuts off😉

Was anything done to car before it started not shutting off?  It does sound like a bad switch or alt wired wrong but if that was tried,Sounds like something is getting back fed or eci relay is staying powered. I guess you could add a switch to coil power to shut it off temporarily,  the eci relay should drop when the spark is cut. If it doesn't shut off the problem could be in the relay or wiring to it.
