Why does power stay on when key off ignition switch toasts?
The circuits affected: Heater fan, radio, windows, rear window defroster and a small amount of power to the wipers (enough to make the relay click when you turn them on, but not enough power to make the motor run – weird!). I believe all those circuits have their own relays and fuses.
What makes the ignition switch turn on and off?
I’m thinking it is the ignition switch. The ignition switch feeds power to all the relays controlling the instrument cluster,starter relay etc. The ignition switch has been used continuously for 10 years eventually contacts will wear out and develop problems.
Can a key off ignition switch go bad?
The plastic/electrical portion of your ignition lock can go bad though most are the early 944s that are problematic (I bought 10 of those ign switches last time I ordered and only have 3 left since most of them are cracked). The late models are normally better and I can’t remember the last time I had to replace one.
What happens if you turn off the engine without a key?
The ignition cylinder is mechanically connected to the steering wheel lock, so a potential thief cannot steer the car without the key. If you turn off the engine with the steering wheel turned or turn the steering wheel after turning off the engine, the steering wheel lock can bind and prevent you from turning the ignition.
What’s the key to turn off the power?
The key combination is FN + F8. You will need to hold down FN, and press F8 a couple of times, it will switch between lcd and monitor, or lcd only, or monitor only. 04-28-2012 11:13 PM
