Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Started car to move it this morning. Moved it to the
road and put it in park. Started making a load
grinding noise. Got in the car to turn it off, took the
key out and it was still trying to start without the
key in it. Any idea was is wrong?
The grinding sounds like the starter motor drive gear is hitting the flywheel teeth, engine running. Taking the negative battery cable loose should stop it, taking the cable loose might cause other issues? Check applicable trouble codes, relating to starter. you may have to check manufacturer specific codes as well as po codes. Two voltage circuits at starter motor, one is hot all the time. The other goes hot with key in the crank position. Check that wire for voltage, key off, should not be hot. You can use a test light. If it is hot, either shorted to voltage or the integrated power module thinks your trying to crank the engine. If it isn't hot and starter motor still kicking out drive gear, I think something wrong with starter motor. Just my opinion.
