Hi all. So I looked outside and saw my car's rear tail lights were on. When I went to investigate the panel showed "I-key system fault. Visit Dealer". I tried to turn the car off, but this only turned it more fully on, and I am unable to turn it off.
At the time it was plugged in but not charging, not driven for maybe 4 days, and it's been dipping past -10 degrees celsuis lately.
I unplugged the car, cursed, and am now hoping someone has suggestions. Otherwise, I will wait until morning and call the dreaded dealer (who just replaced my 12V battery a few months ago, so it darn well shouldn't be that.)
I read another thread about i-key malfunctioning, but it didn't involve a car spontaneously turning itself on (which is freaky!) The car will lock and unlock so the battery in my fob is likely fine.
I only have one Fob as I lost the other a while ago. Maybe it's in the snow, controlling my car from a distance???
UPDATE: i got it to turn off by clearing the error message (boxy button). But there's still a warning icon on the dash.
