Well, it could b a few things. It could be that your alternator isn't recharging your battery and it just shut off because it doesnt have the charge 2 keep your vehicle running at the level its used to, by using the raido and such, or it could be a problem with combustion. it could be your fuel supply that's causing the problem, either a clogged filter or a kink in the gas line
try turning the switch off
well for one is your keyed turned all the way off. But i would say you probably have a short in you wiring somewhere. But try turning off the heater while the car is running then shut your car off.
What is your car's year? Automatic or Manual Did the problem begin after working on the vehicle?
This is being caused by some fluid on the engine. You could have an oil leak somewhere and that is what is causing it to smoke only when the car gets turned off.
Did they used to go off with the ignition? On most cars, the headlights will come on at any time by just turning them on. The car does not need to be running or the key turned on.
A malfunctioning the ignition switch will allow the car to keep running after the key is turned off. You can remove the positive ground cable from the battery to shut the car off.
try turning off your headlights
What would cause my fan to keep running after turning the car off it is a 2005 kia sorento
its not turning off and on its just losing and gaining rpm`s
Most cooling fans will stay on for a minute or so after turning off the car in warm weather. If they stay on past a minute or so, then there is a problem.
Turning it on again helps. ;-D
It sounds like you are not turning the wipers off by using the wiper-switch, but are instead just turning off the ignition-switch. The result will be as you described. Try FIRST turning off the wipers with the wiper-switch, and THEN turning off the ignition-switch. Wrong answer , the question is when the --wipers are turned off- -they stop sticking straight up . not when the ignition is turned off . Delay wipers have a relay module under the dash and above the brake pedal. It's a black plastic box approx 4"x6"x1" with a connector on the short end. The park relay in that module is defective, but as it's on one circuit board, you have to replace the whole thing. it ran me $75 from Ford/Lincoln.
