[97 Outback Sport] - Won't Shut Off w/ Key 3 Days after Installing Alternator

[firstjump]

replaced the ignition switch.

 

same problem persists.

Car starts up on its own. Won't turn off with the key. Grinds/Screams when put into N or D. Shut if off by pulling spark plug wires or the circuit.

 

wow. It's kicking my arse. big time.

 

Now, I get the sneaking suspicion that it's the keyless entry and remote start (aftermarket) that I got to remove. Holy ishnit . But I know nada. So ... any suggestions?

 

:-\:confused::confused:

My Proposed Solution:

Now having searched this forum a lot, I think I have an idea of what is bad.

This thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=131929 is the basis for my proposed solution. Naru and Cougar (along with Gloyale) found the solution - A BAD DIODE between the alternator and the starter motor.

 

 

That thread I was reffering to a Diode between the Alt and Ig.Coil circuits.

 

Not the Starter. As pointed out the starter doesn't care about the Alt.

 

 

This is likely a remote start issue.

 

But for a longshot test of the P and N lockout switches, try pulling the connector on the transmission that goes to the switch mechanism (pass side)

any guidance on removing all the remote starter stuff?

 

Here's some photos (yeah sorryabout the quality):

Two different relay blocks there. How many do they need? Lol

 

Thee is more to that, remove the lower cover on the dash and I'm thinking a bunch more wires will drop out. There's still a control module for it somewhere.

In picture two you show a couple of relays. You could try removing them and see if that clears the trouble.
