Yesterday, My car did this, but only once and stopped. Now it wont go away.
On my car, I Installed a Start switch since my ignition switch was starting to have problems. I installed it about one year ago without any problems.
The problem im having is that now, when I insert the key and turn it just so far as on, the starter automaticly engages, starting the car, but will not turn off and retract the pinion gear like its supposed too, but will spin with the flywheel. I can turn it off, pull the key out, and the way my external switch is wired, I can engage the starter with the key off and out. It will turn the engine over, but will not start, which is normal.
I can still do this with no problem, its just when the key is turned to the ON position (Not Run), it will engage and never turn off. Has anyone else had this problem?
My thoughts went immediatly to the igntion switch itself. But then i thought, How is it getting passed the external switch, but without any problems when the key is out and off?
Any thoughts would be great. Ile be going into CS hopefully to have them look into it further. Im only really good with my hands mechanically, but by no means an electrician.
