Question W208 Crazy malfunction: car is almost always ON and without the keys

Yep, that's a crazy situation I have.

First it started appearing after turning off the engine. I park, turn the engine off and take out the keys. Everything is still working! Headlights, dashboard, fan ect. Sometimes even the engine keeps working! But I cannot turn it off completely.

The only solution is to reset the battery for 10min. After that everything is working alright.

Recently this problem started to occur more often. I open the doors and the car is ON once again.

Maybe it's battery (but it's like 4 months old). Maybe it's the wiring somewhere? One guy fixed rear lights (connection under the gear handle).

Do you have any idea where to look for the problem?

Sounds like you have a faulty ignition module!
