[QUOTE="dudly4201!, post: 26006, member: 9691"] I have a 2018 equinox ls 1.5 a week ago it presented an issue that when you push the push to start button everything in the car shuts off except for the engine. It will run endlessly until it runs out of gas. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Way to turn it off include pulling one of 3 fuses for the ecm. There's a fuse called variable functions that is 7.5 amp and if I pull that and leave it out the vehicle will function normally when it comes to starting it and shutting it off. It throws a check engine light at that point for multiple codes i can only guess are related to that fuse being out. Have had ot to 3 shops none of which have presented a diagnosis of the issue or a fix for it. It has a parasitic draw while this condition occurs if left overnight it had to be jumped. Today when I plugged the battery in and drove it, it functioned properly for 6 starting and shutting the vehicle off cycles then re presented itself doing the same thing. Has a new battery in it and absolutely everything works flawlessly including the auto stop feature when driving around. Kinda at a loss here and any help or pointers would be appreciated. Could it be the underhood fuse block? A module? I don't think it's wiring but I'm not a Chevy certified mechanic. [/QUOTE]
