[Mk2] [Turbo] How to disconnect the green ignition ring?

Post by dellams »

I have been having issues with the ignition staying on for some unknown reason.

But for now does anyone know how to temp disconnect the green ignition ring to see if that stops the drain?

Disconnecting the footwell LEDs has helped a lot, since they were draining it over night. Now it can be alright for a day or two since I think its just the green ring draining it now...

Cheers.

I'd be getting this sorted.

All ignition circuits route through the ignition switch so should all die when ignition switched off.

Are you getting power to ignition circuits after removing key? :?

Removing the ignition ring is easy - but won't be your issue

If you PM me I will talk you through how to remove the ring (and hell you may aswell do an LED conversion whilst its out, lol)

I had the same issue with my car keeping the ignition on when turned off and the key removed - I will update your other thread :thumleft:
