CHAPTER 1....Last month I started a thread about my BDR continuing to running after the ignition was turned off...(not run-on...but full engine operation)...

It was suggested I should replace the ignition with a brand new Painless ignition switch...

CHAPTER 2...I purchased the new switch...and installed it...drove the Cobra several miles (during daylight without the lights on)...started and shut down the engine several times...seemed to solve the problem...

To test my new ignition switch again...I took the Cobra for a short spin the next night with the lights on...pulled back in the garage...turned off the key... the engine continued to run...I didn't try turning the lights off...but instead got out and disconnected the ignition...

At this point...it was suggested by forum members I install a 1A-100 V Diode...


FINAL CHAPTER...I drove the Cobra tonight...I have not had a chance to install the 1A-100V Diode....but turning off the ignition key turned off the engine...I tested this several times...each time the Cobra shut off...as dusk approached...I turned on the lights and drove back to my garage...as a further test to isolate the problem.. I left on the lights and turned off the ignition switch...Cobra still ran...this time I turned off the lights...the Cobra shut down...

So it appears my problem only occurs at night with the lights on...so if I shut off the ignition switch...but do not turn the lights off first...the Cobra still runs...

I'm going to install the Diode when I get a chance...but with my new info...any further thoughts on my problem...

Thanks,
