She won't shut down! 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be petersoncap on  Thu Aug 22 11:22 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I am having the exact same problem on my '85 244T. Since it needs a new engine harness anyway, that is going to be my first line of attack.

I have also seen a replacement switch for the ignition, and plan to purchase one. Apparently there is an electronic switch on the back of it (towards the front of the car) in addition to the physical lock part.

In the mean time, I find letting the clutch out slowly in third gear is a bit more convenient than pulling the coil wire.

Do your dashboard lights stay on after you remove the key like mine sometimes do? The two problems seem to be related (at least for my car...)
