i swapped my d15 out of my daily driver for a d16z6 and now my car wont shut off i have to unplug my wiring harness to shut off my car...from my searched it looked like my ignition switch went bad so i swapped it for a working one and it still deosnt turn off...not sure what else it could be....any ideas?
also my car is completly stock and i dont have an alarm

 

Can you turn the keys to the off position and take them out?

 

yea i can pull the key out and the car stay on...if the battery is connected the gauge lights stay on as if the key was in there even though its not...

 

Your ECU is most likely getting constant power instead of ignition power.

 

What a neat trick.

 

craaaaaaaazy...
wish i could give you helpful info, but cant
but thats crasay.

goodluck th0

 

is it a stick or auto?
if its a stick just put it in gear and dump the clutch, it'll stall and turn off.

now for a permanent fix you'll have to ask someone else.

 

its 5speed but i can get it to turn off by unplugging a harness but i need a permanent fix...

 

stall it but make sure no one sees you

 

Did you check if the ECU is getting constant power instead of ignition power?

 

how exactly do i check that?

 

Does it run perfect or does it sputter and barely turn over? My rex did that occasionaly.

 

the car runs smooth..finally fixed the car!!! after looking over everything changeing main relay ignition relay nothing work then as i was giving up i decided to look behind the guage cluster and as i unscrewed it the light went off and the car went back to normal...i looked behind the cluster didnt find anything wrong maybe something was pinched i dunno the car just seemed to fix itself....weird

 

If I were you I wouldn't drive the car till you find the problem...

It most likely was a pinched wire in the cluster... BUT... that means that you've broken through the plastic coating on at least 2 wires... I would take it apart and inspect everything closely... A constant power wire crossing with ANYTHING is begging for a fire...

Especially considering whatever power source you're dealing with obviously isn't popping a fuse when it crosses with whatever other line it's crossing with.

You would check constant power to the ECU by checking the power connection to the ECU with a test light or multimeter... check it first with the car off and the key out of the ignition... and then again with the key turned to "accessory"

You need a wiring diagram though because there is probobly at least one constant power to the ecu normally... but one of them obviously is only supposed to come on with ignition.

 

yea im gonna give it a good look over tomorrow err techinacally today....
