Engine will not turn off! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ShootZ · 12-07-2016, 04:10 PM

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?

VIP BRZ · 12-07-2016, 04:52 PM

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.

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

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

Help us help you.

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

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 ......

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 .........
