These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello everyone im back after a couple of years just to let you know I resolved my dash not shutting off after locking thus draining my battery after 2 days. I read on the forum about various things to change like ignition switch, brake switch, light switch and so on but no one came up with the obc stick itself. It seems to have been stuck in the on position pulling towards you Although the obc worked fine it just wouldn’t let the cluster shut down. I used A ctek charger most of the time to stop battery from going flat. Any how I hope this helps someone who is having the same problems as I did. It a simple job to change out the stalk switch But does involve removing the steering wheel And air bag.
