Help! 1992 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 - Starting Itself ?

[Jaybyrd32]

New to site, inherited a 92 quadrunner 250 2wd. After riding turned switch to off, took key out, and it was trying to start itself somehow???? One day I shut it off and an hour later I came out to the garage to it running with the key out and in the off position, and run switch in off.... What's going on with this thing? Help

Sounds like Christie from the Stephen King movie. LOL. ... But you might have a crosses wire or a short in the wire system some where.

You need an old priest and a young priest.

sounds like you have some bared wires touching each other somewhere ... check the wire harness where it bends up from the frame to the handle bars, everywhere really, could be anywhere there is rubbing from the seat or gas tank too.

Try unplugging the ignition switch itself. I've seen the copper bands seperate inside the switch but still work normal. If the wiring checks out ok and unplugging the switch fixes it, you need a new one.

I had a starter soliniod short out once after I got out of a truck. I made it to the house and realized I forgot my lunch box. I turned around to get my lunch box and the truck was coming down the drive way after me. Needless to say I was surprized. I jumped in put the truck in neutral and ran to the garage to get tools to disconnect the battery. On another truck I turned my truck off and it kept running. The parts going to the ignition switch fell apart in the steering colume. I agree it sounds like you have some bare wires/shorted out some place or in the ignition switch.
