hmmm maybe my car is weird then (seriously anything could be going on here) but when I turn my engine off NOTHING turns off but the engine.

I have to turn the key ONE MORE click back from engine off to get "power" to go off. I am driving an xfi so everything except the engine is manually driven or independant of the ECU.

In fact I make it a habit of only going the one click because if I go 2 click the wheel lock is able to engage and the radio resets (pain since it resets the volume to a default point as well and restarts the music from the beginning)

my lights stay on (although now that I think about it TURN SIGNALS disengage till I return key to the on position but lights and what not stay on)

I guess there is more going on in that switch than just on off :-)

I also try to "pop" start since the act of engaging the starter "also" resets the radio.

I guess the ECU does reboot as I get that initial "nag noise" and the dash lights engage.
