Clio 2011 Dynamique Tomtom dci - Engine still running with ignition off.

[u/rufushu]

Bit of strange one. Had the car about 3 years and its been doing this since I've had it, so its not a new problem.

Turn the ignition off and remove the key, engine is still running. If I put the car into reverse, just as the reversing lights would be coming on... it stops ( foot is still on the clutch so I havent stopped it by slamming it into reverse !) and thats the only way to stop it. I've tried various combinations of lights and pushing pedals but its only selecting reverse to the point the reversing light would be coming on that it stops .... of course the reversing light doesnt come on because the ignition is off.

Another possibly related ( possibly not ) problem, is almost to the exact minute of the car running. after 14 minutes a LOW BATTERY - STOP message comes up .... but the battery voltage is still showing 14.5 volts at the cigarette lighter and i've driven for 5 hours with no issues apart from that warning message staying on !. .. and its always 14 minutes every time !

I'd like to get it fixed but if its going to mean a new ecu or similar then I'll just put up with it !

Thanks for reading !
