So I just got my 25 powered up using the 8-step. Why is my dash still powered after I take my keys out of the ignition? Is there a way to stop this. I have found the only way to kill the power is to disconnect the battery. Any info?

I had the same problem. when i put in my turbo timer it solved that problem. never took the time to figure out why though. anyways just get a turbo timer and problem solved.

your gonna think im crazy, remove the low fuel light. the guy who wrote that 8 step guide (7 actaully count close) had this same problem. we traced it down to the god damn low fuel light on the r33 cluster.

I think I'll wait and try the turbo timer thing. If anyone has any other ideas please let us know.
