My car will not shut off. Please help

I live in northern colorado. I have an 06 ix gsr. Lately when i turn my car off the turbo timer will wind down to 0 and shut the motor down. Funny thing is that my entire electrical system ie radio, heater, lights, gauges etc etc all stay on. I am having to jumpmy car almost every time i need to drive it. I need my car to be back to the fun loving car i used to know because as it sits right now it is just a pain in the ****. Any ideas. I am borderline desperate. I removed the turbo timer display but all the modules and wirin are still installed. Fyi. I have the apexi auto timer. Thanks all

I agree with EvoFlash. Someone wired up the turbo timer wrong. Trace the wires back and see where the power in is connected. Change the source.

Good luck

Good question. No, its got a mind of its own. But i see what ur getting at. The tt would turn off when the ebrake was down. Now its on its own program

Re-installation would seem like your best bet. When the weather gets better you will fix it no problem

If it is not shutting off when it counts all the way down and when you release the parking brake then its wired wrong. You would have to check how it is wired, sounds like it doesnt have the harness. Check the connection at the parking brake under the console. There should be a wire splice there, it might not be making good contact. You should also check your ground, it sound like an easy fix. I had to rewire a friends TT cause the last person had it all messed up.

Sounds like a wiring fault. Just reinstall. If that isn't it then the timer is likely at fault.
