Hi everyone, Been trying to solve my problem today and yes the problem was a wire came lose from his connector!! Turned the key and my 300 TDI was running smoothly..Nice sound great! BUT! as soon as I turned the ignition switch of my engine kept on running the only way to stop her was to take of the 12 v from the seleniod stop start valve hmmm . while the engine was running I removed the battery connection + engine kept running took away the connection of my altenator engine kept running ??? Somebody had the same problem and knows the solution please let me know. Cheers Noudje

Tommorow afternoon I got time to measure the elec. thanks I will have look at the ignition switch first. Noudje

Thanks Maverick, When I say fuel pump relay I mean Fuel stop selenoid if I put straihgt 12 v on it the enging starts straight away. The thing I dont get is that everything was working fine and it seems like Due these lights keep on burning after removing the key a relay holds power or like you said maybe the ignition switch has got a problem due the selenoid has no 12v anymore (ignition switch is new) I do get power to the starter and it turns over. There is a white wire running from the ignition to a header from there it goes to my selenoid. white red is running from ignition to starter relay and glow plug timer this seems to work correctly all fuses been checked and are ok that means that or my ignition new one is to heaven and I dont understand why these light keep on burning after I removed the key does this mean that my resistor in my altenator is gone? What do you think? Regards Noudje
