2011 Sprinter won't shut off!!! (Update…)
I just went out to start my 2011 sprinter… has approx… 60,000 miles.. 170" high roof.
When I started it, it sounded like the "starter"??? was stuck and the engine was running too!
Turned the key to shut the engine off, which it did, took the key completely out of the ignition and the "sound of something running was… still running"!
Put the key in and turned it one click clock wise and the engine starts up(which it shouldn't!) and the "sound" possibly the starter, kept running… with the freakin engine! :thumb down:
Every time I turned the engine off the "sound" of something running continued!
So I left the damn thing running engine and all... Arrrr!
Ran up here to the office to search this site and nothing… after 10 mins or so I went to see if it had stopped or the entire Mercedes had burst into flames… and the engine was still running but no "sound" besides the engine.
So I shut it off…and the world went quiet... As it should when you turn a freaking engine off! Now, thinking whatever was "stuck" had free'd itself and knowing I had to move it... I started it up and the entire process repeated…
Finally got everything shut down and I can smell "electrical smoke"… I have 3 messages and an "ESP"(I think?) error. I'm too afraid to even put the damn key near the ignition!!! :thumb down:
So I guess I will get her towed in the morning.. again! :thumb down:
Anyone know what the f is going on?
Thanks…
