car won't turn off (radio runs, screen off, shift into park notice, can't lock car),
Turns out this issue is common to mazda6 and CX-5.
i have a 2014 mazda 6 itouring, the issue below has been going on for a year now: when i put the car in park, and turn the car off:
-engine shuts off BUT:
-it tells me to put the shifter in park.
-dash board shows the car in park
-display and radio stay on
-can't lock car
temp fix:
-i then have to push the button (without pushing brake pedal = not starting car),
-push the shifter sideways a couple of times and then push the button and the car turns off.
-It now got to the point, where the temp fix was no longer worked
proper fix:
turns out there is a park position sensor...the rubber at the end of the switch becomes too soft and it doesn't push in any longer...so the car thinks that its still in a shifted position and it does not turn off. here is a video of what i did to fix the issue:
