Most likely is the ignition key lock problem or relay problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine won't cut out when I turn the ignition off, but only when I pull out the key. Fault was attributed to the comfort control module.

Kangadrool Supersonic June 5, 2020 Share June 5, 2020 Manual still the best! If cannot shut off, use clutch to stall. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicolor 5th Gear June 5, 2020 Share June 5, 2020 In my case it was the ignition lock cylinder. Couldn't turn off car at all even after turning to off and pulling key out. Was really troublesome because all I could do was to put car into gear, release clutch and stall it, but all the dashboard lights wouldn't go off so I had to disconnect battery. Bear in mind that mine was a very old car, so problem might be different. Best to let workshop check as soon as possible while you still can turn it off after a few attempts. Will be really troublesome once you can't shut car off at all. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tip bro. She'll nag more if she know you already switched off You should instead turn on turbo mode and listen to her carefully. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
