The 1990 Vanagon camper keeps running after I take the key out of the ignition but only sometimes. When it happened I tried to shut off the engine by disconnecting the ignition wires by pulling out the connector from the ignition. No use. The engine kept running. The only way I could stop it was by disconnecting the alternator. Is there a relay somewhere? If it was the ignition switch it should turn off when I pulled the ignition wires off, shouldn't it? This only happens from time to time. Sorin Bejenaru (415)665-7030 |
