[QUOTE="slapnpop, post: 287381, member: 2"] I would attribute the self-starting issue to a bead of water in the momentary starter switch, which he worked out by moving the switch a few times with the key off. I think it's a separate and unrelated issue. Things that come to mind as possible points of problem in a car wash, that would produce this type of behavior, would lead me to think ignition coil. It's right there under the right side dash panels, and easy to hose down good. I would think it would have presented itself as a problem much sooner, if not immediately though. That part I can't explain. Definitely follow Radman's advice on tracing the electrical system backwards from the plugs. I don't think that the right switch housing or side/center stand switches are the issue, as a failure there would prevent the starter turning, right? [/QUOTE]
