Oh yeah and I forgot to ask...does anyone know what the thin red wire on +ve and the thin brown and thin black wires on the -ve terminal of the battery are for?

I have the wierdest problem. When I take the key out, the engine still runs (but electrics dont work). I have replaced the ignition switch (bloody tough job aswell!!) and bought a new battery and a new earth cable (old one went green). and STILL I have no luck. It takes the p**s coz I have deliberatly stall then disconnect the battery. Anyone have any ideas to what else it may be?? My cars a '91 1.8 16V. Thanx.

I need a an earth strap that goes from the -ve terminal of the battery to the gearbox, coz my one badly corroded, giving me problems. Does anyone know where I can get one and how much it will cost? also how difficult is it to fit? ('91 1.8 16V)

Thanx guys, I've found an installation diagram, but my cars getting a full respray so I'll try changing it myself when I get it back and let you guys know how it goes!!!

Hi every1, Just recently bought a 91 1.8 16V corrado. Was fine for a while until now. Sometimes when i turn off the ignition and take the key out, the engine STILL RUNS :shock: . It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes. If this doesn't happen then at least the lights on the dash have to flicker as though the key is in position 1, leading to a flat battery the following morning. Its strange but its true. I'm guessing that there is a short somewhere in the electricals, possibly something to do with the earthing or ignition switch but im unsure as im new to car electrics. Can someone please help me ?
