Court M3 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Ok guys just changed out the alternator in the car and for some odd reason even after I turn off the car the OBC and radio stay on. Check panel lights are also on. Also the drivers side will not lock for some reason. Key will not turn it. Could this be a bad key or ignition tubmbler? Anyone think they might be tied in together? Need help this area is high crime and I have to keep the car unlocked all night and the battery disconnected obviously to turn off the OBC and check engine lights.

Deftones 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 I had a problem with my accesories circuit where things stayed on when i took out the keys. Couldn't alarm my car because of it, and if it did arm, I couldn't disarm it etc. I ended up tracing it back to a faulty hazard light switch of all things. Actually went through the electrics under the dash etc. Replaced the switch and I was away laughing. You may have wiring arching somewhere? (sorry don't know the correct term, plus I'm no auto-electrician). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Court M3 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Yeah I am going to check that when the new alternator comes in. The one I got from Ebay was bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
