hello All, first posting here so hopefully I won't make any clamatous errors and get flamed to death.
Im on the prowl for ideas really. For some reason my 1989 90 has developed 2 odd faults.
Firstly when I turn off the ignition the engine keeps running. Know I know why the previous owner fitted a kill switch to the fuel pump solenoid. This seems to stay live even when the key is removed. I have tried fitting a new ignition switch but this has not helped. I have a feeling it may be to do with the starter relay itself or the wiring to the started reley. Has anyone ever had a similar problem, if so how did you resolve it. Also does anyone know whether needing the kill switch to stop the engine constitutes a failure as far as the MOT is concerned.
Secondly, deffo MOT failure this, I seem to have a cross connection between my right indicator and my sidelights. When I turn on my right indicator my sidelights (both sides) flash too; and when I turn on the sidelights the right indicators, front, side and back come on permanetly. I've tried tracing cables but I cant figure this one. Where are the key earth points for these circuits, could a duff relay cause this? Anyone got a good fault finding sequence I can try.
heyyylllpppp! Failing any advice does anyone know a good auto electrician specialising in Landys near Staines Middx
TIA, Paul
