Hi all,
Recently , I’ve purchased a new battery and replaced my old interstate battery that was near end of life on my Granturismo 2011. After replacing, everything went smooth, car started up easily and drove with no warning lights. HOWEVER, the issue starts when i go to turn off the car. I turn the key and pull it out the ignition, the car’s electronics does not turn off and flickers like crazy with a loud ticking noise that come with it. Only way i could completely turn off the car is by disconnecting the battery.
I’ve followed the procedures for installing new battery and also made sure everything is connected and secured properly.
Can someone please shed some light on this???

It was a brand new battery and I too, was under the impression that it was fully charged... hence why it never occurred to me that it needed a good drive.

A broken or weak return spring in the relay will keep the relay out of its normal position. You can usually feel the relay tic when it energizes/deenergizes with a finger on it.
Indeed. It won't flip from one position to another though
