Hello,

This is my first car so forgive me please for my lack of knowledge.

Today I can take my key fully out and my engine stays on.. I have to take out the fuel pump fuse in order to turn it off.
This fuse-box diagram seems correct: https://fuse-box.info/skoda/skoda-roomster-2006-2015-fuse-box-diagram

I believe it's a Skoda Fabia Roomster 1.6 Petrol 2009.

I've ran a OBD scan and it came up with these two warnings:

Engine Control (EC) relay - Short to Positive
Engine Control (EC) relay - Open circuit

ECU addresses listed: OBD-II, 28, 58

I bought a new ignition switch, it's coming on Tuesday but I have a feeling it might be the EC relay due to the OBD scan.

If anyone has any advice, links to what to buy I'd appreciate it I was thinking about buying a universal relay and then all of this got too complicated such as HEL4RD007794-021.

I'd really like to drive my car to work on Tuesday, so if anyone has any thoughts on continuing to unplug the fuel pump fuse and if I might cause lasting damage - let me know

@Breezy_Pete has some great knowledge of Skoda electrical systems and has a Roomster so might be able to offer advice.

I've switched a relay, I found one that was abnormally hot my car started and turned on with the key!

It's 53 12V 40A on the side it says 177.8 GCT 141 951 253 B
20 240 072
pa6.6-GF30

I now have a error of fuel pump A control Circuit Open and ECM/PCm power relay control circuit open and sense circuit open

I think VW group relays with 53 in big font on the top of them are super-common.

Might be able to find a replacement on amazon prime (seeing several options there searching 141951253B), or in a local scrapyard pretty easily.
