Members FWAxeIbanez Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hey guys, I'm havin the wierdest thing happen to me right now... any of you guys car buffs? I have a {censored}ty ass Ford Taurus right now that won't shut off... you heard me, it just won't shut off... the ignition just sort of spins until it hits a brick wall with no give what so ever... I turn the key backwards, and instead of having a little bit of effort needed, it just spins freely until it stops, yet the car stays on... I don't know what to do, we checked and the wheel isn't locked, and I've held the brake down straight to the floor and made sure it was in park, and I added transmission fluid to make sure it was really going into park it's a ford taurus and it's an automatic (wish it was a stick, so I could just let it stall out or something) and I don't wanna let it just run out of gas, because it'll screw up the fuel injection right? plus, it says it has 140 miles left till empty, and that'll take forever if it's just idling what the hell could it be? How can I kill the engine without actually "killing" the engine?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gt5litre Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ignition, this is where the key inserts to start the car, is shot. Perhaps you can remove the fuse that protects the fuel pump or fuel injection system to shut it off. gt5litre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted January 17, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 well, a buddy of mine "fixed it" he just told me he pulled on a plug and it shut the car off, so now I'm gonna go back out there and hope we can turn it back on...

Members gt5litre Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 the fuse box should be under the hood, probably near battery and it will be a black plastic housing/rectangular box shape. The lid will come off, probably has a plactic latch with a release. Their should be a map, so to speak, of the fuses on the inside of the lid you just removed look their for the correct fuse to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
