Engine will not turn off!
 

Hey, I have a 2015 FRS, this just started happening a couple weeks ago.

When my hazards are on, I can turn the key off, all gauges, lights etc. turn off like normal but the engine stays running, even with the key out. Put the key back in, turn the hazards off and turn key off and it'll turn off.

And ideas?

Well that is a new one!
All stock? No mods of any kind (other than wheels or suspension)

Do you have a remote starter installed?

wait... how often do you need to turn off the car while your hazards are on?

This sounds like a real minor inconvenience, just turn your engine off first and then activate the hazards.

Still shouldn't happen and should get to the bottom of it before it gets worse.


Patient "Doctor it really hurts when I laugh"
Doctor "well don't laugh"

Could have be a bad Ignition Switch? does the same thing happen without the Hazard light being on?

Are you by any chance using one of those cheap flasher modules (for avoiding hyperflashing with LED bulbs)? If so, try putting the stock flasher back in.

Nonsense you say? When I first put LED bulbs and a cheap flasher, with everything off other than the hazards, I heard weird sound with something on the dash lighting up dimly. I'm thinking it was maybe the fuel pump. I immediately took that garbage out and picked up a Tap-turn module (Canadian).

I opened up the cheap flasher module and found 9V relays in it. Garbage. In the end, there's really no reason to use one. You can just mod the stock one to work with LEDs. See http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...97&postcount=8

Anyone else wanting to see a video of this? Haha..

Sorry, this is absolutely no help

You didn't answer Tcoat's (or anyone else's) question. Exactly what mods do you have, if any?

Help us help you.

Hello ShootZ and welcome to our forum...... :clap:

Like others have asked, what mods do you have that have something to do with the electrical system..??

Or, to put it another way, what cha been messen with ... ??

But I'm not the one with the problem... :bonk:

That's no excuse.

First off ....... "Sorry, this is absolutely no help" ....... is a problem ..... :rolleyes:

Then @Ultramaroon ask you a question ........ and you spouted off with some dribble about "But I'm not the one with the problem".

Your first step to recovery is to admit that you have a problem ...... :popcorn:

No wonder @Tcoat gets impatient with posters ...... that have problems, then deny that they have a problem ....... and THEN don't follow advice to solve their problem.

Comments ......... :paddle:

I think we're both getting a bit senile.

Well, YOU may be "getting" ....... I'm already there ....... :bonk:


:D


Now, where are my pills ...... ?? :confused0068:

Actually this thread is an example of the other thing about questions that get's my goat. Question was asked at 4:10 OP logged off at 4:10 and as not been back. No follow up questions have been answered or even acknowledged. I do not expect people to hang out here as much as some do but this is part of the dehumanization of the internet. Would people that do this walk up to a bunch of guys in person, say "I have an issue can you help" then turn around and walk away before getting a response?

Hey, ..... @TheGuyWithTheFireStorm ..... where did you go off to .....??

We weren't done messen wich ya yet ...... :D


humfrz

Still here!

Good point!

Like, back-in-the-day, down at the local garage, asking one of the more experienced guys to help you rebuild a carburetor, then walking away and going over to the coke machine and having a coke while sitting down on a milk carton ...... :eyebulge:

Just try that twice ....... :mad0259:

Read this thread yesterday... Tried "it" after work. Turned my car on, turned my hazards on, turned my car off. Engine turned off, hazards stay on.


I got nothing.

You're OK, there, TheGuyWithTheFireStorm ....... :thumbsup:


humfrz

I forgot to try it this morning! :cheers:

Maybe OP can try the old ECU reboot?

disconnect battery
hold brake pedal
reconnect

Would really like to know if there were any electrical mods of any sort. There have been all sorts of weird and wonderful results from the.

Maybe OP will return to his thread... An OP is like the captain of a ship, you have to remain on it to get help. Or watch it sink as your ship (thread) is thrust into utter chaos without its captain!


:popcorn:

Even with a Captain we have been know to mutiny on occasion!

Just keeping dis bitch afloat.

Guys. Guys. No need to jump to conclusions about the OP. My guess is he saw the questions about the flasher relay, and went out to his garage to take a look at it. Spent 20 minutes trying to reach up under the dash to remove it, cutting his wrists in the process, and between the blood loss and the carbon monoxide poisoning from his still-running engine, he probably died.

RIP, OP.

Stang, I literally laughed out loud! So I can legitimately say "LOL"!

Am I the only one who read this as TheGuyWithTheFireStorm digging on himself, saying that his own post that I quoted above is no help, and he knows it? I don't get the 2 pages of hubbub, unless you guys are all just messing with each other and there's no bad blood.:iono:

It's been a while since we've had a good ol' post'n'run

98% messin' 2% real I will let you try to figure which is which. You will get used to us!

Mostly, jest ah messen wich each other ......... ;)

When there is "bad blood" there will be no doubt in your mind ......:mad0260:


:D

I reserve my lols for lols. Otherwise it's haha.
