Can't turn starter off !

gog · Feb 9, 2012

I knew I had a low battery so connected a boost pack,turned ignition on ,car nearly started,96 dse p38 ,so turned key to off thinking i'll give it another go,
but starter just continued to turn even with key in off position,
It stopped when I took off the booster leads,only because no power left in battery I think.
What's going on people,,,,

Could be a stuck relay....

Or the BeCM is throwing a fit due to low voltage....

Any Idea which relay ,can't find it in the handbook ,

oh dear.i used a starter pack on my p38,it fooked the BECM up good style.it tells you in the handbook not to use them.it cost me nearly 400 quid to have it put right.

Download RAVE Manuals....sooooooo much better than the handbook.

land rover service factory manual RAVE download land rover resource, service manual, workshop factory manual, download, rave, vehicles including discovery, series, defender, range rover, freelander, LR3, Handbooks, Catalog, Catalogue, Land Rover Inte

Relay or burnt fuse box.

Update ,swapped a few relay's around,same type,jump leads off another car ,starter sounded stuck i.e not throwing out cog but turning,checked for lose wire gave it a rattel by hand ,heard a click ,jump leads back on car starts only needed to reset windows.
So me thinks stuck relay and stuck starter motor at the same time.
weird feeling having keys in your hand and car trying to start itself,

Pull the solenoid wire and see if it still does it. If it does contact bar is welded to main terminals in solenoid. New starter if it's that.
