XG won't start then won't turn off.

Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Got a strange one today. Replaced a broken odometer gear in the speedo. Bit fiddly but easy enough to do. However once I hooked my battery back up the fuel pump primed and a clicking sound came out of one of the relays. Inside the cab the Altinator  and smart lock lights were on. Key was OUT of the ignition. Put the key in to try to start it and nothing.

Put the battery on a charger for a couple of hours. Came back and smart lock light was off but Alt light still on. Ute started ok but the ALT gauge showed no charge. Went for a quick drive and nothing changed, then I went to turn it off and it wouldn't turn off! Even disconnected the neg terminal. Only when i did the pos terminal is stopped.

Any ideas? Do I need a Preist to throw holy water over it or something??

Did you unbolt the steering column, to remove the cluster?

To me, it's all voltage and/or earth related

Focus on the ignition switch

 

Does it have an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser?
