Odd Issue - any ideas?

ColoradoDriver said:

So I go to park, turn my car off, and yet, it's not off all the way...

I tried turning it on and back off again (yes mr. IT guy). And then I drove it around and tried again and same thing.

It's like it's in that state before full accessory mode.

Anyway, left it a few minutes like this and then hit the button again for full accessory and then again and this time it turned off.

Not sure what is causing this.

Any ideas?

Could be related to the transponder.

Have you tried this using your spare transponder (uhm)

As in the key fob? No I have not tried the spare. This one does have a fairly new battery though.

Yes, sorry key fob

Could be the internals of that key fob are not sending the correct instructions to shut down properly when you press the start/stop button

ColoradoDriver said:

Hmm...will give the spare a shot.

This is the second time this has happened, so it's not consistently doing this, so no way to be sure I think.

Which means there is some issue with commands being sent/processed

ColoradoDriver said:

Yeah I'll give the other key a shot. Never used it, so probably needs a new battery.

Bad start/stop button. There's a TSB on this.

I had the same problem at 90k miles. Safety switch that tells the car it's in park. Near the shifter. Cost about $40 if I remember correctly. Easy to change. Search YouTube, there is a video.

So, wasn't fob.

Known issue: TSB # 05-004/16

Took me about an hour. Issue resolved now.

Looks like you didn't break anything during the process of removing the center console pieces. Yeah it's a known issue about the shifter switch, and the TSB (from Anchorman?) provides excellent instruction replacing it.
