The reason I ask, my dad had a 406 and he couldn't turn the key to switch the car off. Ended up having to get a new ignition and ignition loom.

#8: Re: Car wont turn off! Help! Author: fkismad, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 12:44 pm ---- Just the battery light is dimly lit. Would the stop solenoid be the first/cheapest option to try ?

#12: Re: Car wont turn off! Help! Author: fkismad, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 2:47 pm ---- Thanks for the replies! Il have a pop at changing the stop solenoid.
#13: Re: Car wont turn off! Help! Author: fkismad, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 2:59 am ---- Forgot to ask, how do i know if my pump is a lucas or bosch? Ive seen a DW8 engine spec and it says it could be either pump.
#14: Re: Car wont turn off! Help! Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:16 am ---- most come with lucas the lucas is the one in the pics above a bosch is the pic below
on a bosch the solenoid is exposed so its easy to get to bosch are very rare on dw8 in the 206 they put them on the 306 dw8 and a few berlingo vans
#15: Re: Car wont turn off! Help! Author: fkismad, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:41 pm ---- I had a look and found somebody has already cut the steel cover that hides the solenoid and it looks like a new wire has been added in for some reason. Thought it might be a bad connection so i took the nut of the solenoid and cleaned the contacting metal. This wire doesnt look original at all.
Think i will just replace the soldenoid. Do i need a special tool to take it out ?
