Max626 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 When I remove the key the car stays on radio,dash ect. I thought it was a bad ignition switch but I tested it and it’s good, however the other end of the plug still has constant 7v at two of the 4wires while one has the 12v. Quick back story to how the problem first started I was changing my suspension and had to unlock the steering wheel when I removed the key I realized the power was still on. Also I don’t hear my fuel pump kicking in so I’ll be testing for voltage there next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just cause the ignition which is getting voltage doesn't mean it's doing what is supposed too. You didn't force the rack when it was locked did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max626 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Finally had decent weather and time to troubleshoot. Tested the ignition switch and it’s good, and checked my main fuse box to see if anything was visablly wrong and saw nothing all fuses good. Any insight anyone???

doublechaz Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't know the details of our system, but I expect there is a relay involved somewhere. Perhaps it is failing in a way that it sticks in the run position? I had mine refuse to turn off when the key was turned to off and removed, but that was because I put an Impreza computer in my Legacy. Mostly worked, but there was no ability to shut down without removing the battery negative. I switched back to the original computer. I was just testing to see if the other was a viable spare...

Max626 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Bump......so finally got back to troubleshooting again and so here’s what’s working as it should Main Relay,Fuel Pump Relay and all connections going to the pump/ECU tested good with continuity and the pump works when I jump the fuel pump relay. I still have voltage going to my fuse box inside the car with the Key OFF and with my limited time I’m stumped. Any ideas as to what I should check next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
