car wont shut off

Postby DJ » Sun Jun 30, 2013 9:14

so i pulled my car into my garage today. turned it off, and it stayed running all the accessories turned off but the cluster stayed on and engine stayed running. i cannot find anything wrong with the ignition as i disassembled it, and reassembled it. still nothing. i have to stall the car out and disconnect the battery to kill it. the off to on to start sequence is fine. no check engine lights. its odd has anyone else had this problem.

I've never heard of this happening on a newer car. On older cars, it can be caused by a bad alternator.
