Car won't switch off unless I press the brake pedal - Jukie88 - 12-12-2013
Basically I turn ignition off and the car still runs but if I press the brake pedal it stops running and switches off BUT if I take my foot off the brake pedal all the electrics turn back on
very irritating as I don't want it to be dead for tomoz morning anyone shed some light ? X x x

Thats a new one, very odd but typical of french electrics

Unplug the brake light switch. Must be shorting on something!

It's well weird car turned off ok just a min ago but the electrics keep turning on :-( again if I press the brake pedal it shuts the electric off

Disconnect battery if all else fails

That is a new one! Check that nothing has fused together in the main fuse locations. Also like has already been stated - look at the brake switch

Fuses all ok the only way I've found so far to shut the whole car off electrics aswell is to take the shunt fuse out

I would check the loom that runs along under the rad bud!! These have been known to cause a car to carry on running!! Ɑnd fires aswell!!
The brake pedal thing ιs very strange

It's stopped doing it today
but it also dry when it was doing it it was peeing it down just wondering if water is getting somehwere and looked at the loom pal it's abit tatty on the plastic surround from bottoming out but the actual loom seems to be ok although now my central locking doesn't work maybe that's involved in this whitch craft ??

check the engine loom plugs on the chassis leg
and the plug block under the wiper motor through the bulkhead isnt submerged in water due to a blocked drain hole

Car seems to have fixed itself

RE: Car won't switch off unless I press the brake pedal - Martin306 - 14-12-2013

Car won't switch off unless I press the brake pedal - Jukie88 - 17-12-2013
So I got no ideas on this all wiring is ok guttering is all clear not water getting into any electrics all fuses and earths ok
it's a mystery but isn't doing it any more.
RE: Car won't switch off unless I press the brake pedal - Martin306 - 17-12-2013

Car won't switch off unless I press the brake pedal - Jukie88 - 18-12-2013

If water is getting in through your aerial base or possibly sunroof if you have one, it runs along the headliner and down the a-pillar, and can get into the relays underneath the steering cowling. Remove your interior light assembly stuff and check if there is water in there and consider silicone-sealing this up to stop the water getting to your relays.
