To those that haven't seen my Cruise Wiring thread, I'll explain what's up. I'm currently using my cruise indicator light in the dash as a Meth Injection "on" light. I have it wired up and working correctly, however discovered something weird.

When I turn off the ignition, the light (and consequently meth) turns on until the MPI relay clicks off. I thought it was DSMLink related, but after looking at logs and talking to Dave, it doesn't appear to be the case. I'm wondering if there is a cruise control computer, relays or anything inside the car (all of the outside stuff was removed) that I can disconnect to troubleshoot this. I am not sure why this is happening, as I'm using the factory 12V+ to the cruise light, and feeding the ground with my FPS output on DSMLink. If anyone has any ideas or things to try, I'm all ears! Thanks!

Cruise computer hangs onto both sides of the indicator light. Its in the space behind the dash right up top under the windscreen ledge. On a rhd is on the right side piggybacked to the central locking/etacs computer

Have you considered placing a diode in the circuit to prevent the power from your light back feeding to the meth kit.
