So after my Cerbera refused to stop via the red buttons, I spent the day tracing the start and stop switch wires all the way to the control unit I can find no split etc, so I guess it must be the control box.
Can anybody help with any tests I can do before buying a new one?
Or anyone in the Oxted area let me try theirs smile

Thanks in advance

Engine still running, not turning off smile, Tbh it's been playing up for a while, it would switch off then all switch back on 20mins later and set the alarm off, it's only because it got to the not switching engine off did I do something about it smile

Mine did wired things when I parked it one day with the hazards on and LED indicators fitted. I think it can back feed to the ignition control unit so I'd check all your chassis earth, particularly the one in the boot.
