Lights on dash even though key is out?

[danielonline]

I have lights on my dash board even tho the key is out the car? The car has just had a engine swap and a loom swap as old loom was cut on the shell.

Abs, handbrake, clock etc all lit up? What's it likely to be?

Thanks all

arch loom rubbed through

No. It was a new loom I fitted and I strapped it up in place.

How much of the loom was swapped. It sounds like you have a live feed going to the dash not via the ignition or something is cross-wired somewhere so the live feed to those bulbs is coming from something other than live.

Does the car run ? With the key or without ? Do the other electrics operate as normal ?

Car does start yes.

I swapped out the drivers side loom to engine bay. Also put in ecu loom to engine. The car loom all stayed in.

Sounds like a short then.

Turned out to be relay in drivers side footwell.

Hi mate, which relay was the culprit? I'm having a similar problem.
