So the ShagRunner has been acting funny lately. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?

Every now and again when I turn the key to off the engine shuts off but, not eveything shuts down. The brake light and seat belt light come on and the power door locks down't automaticall shut off. If I let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes with the key removed it will evenutally all go off (and the door locks open up). Or, I can turn the key on and off a few times and it will eventually shut down.

Anyone had a problem like this?...and what was it?

I've been looking over the wire diagrams....it kinda seems to me like one of the relays in the integrated relay is sticking. But, I thought I'd ask before I start tearing things apart.

Any help is, as always, appreciated.

Might try pulling the ignition switch cylinder out and have a look at the contacts and maybe give it all a good shot of electrical cleaner.

Usually relays stick and stay stuck, or the return spring that moves the relay contact arm when power is off has died. If you hold the relay and shake it you may hear the arm flop about. If you hear it flop about, replace the relay. If you don't hear it, it could still be dead. Do a web search of testing relays for how to test one.
