Hey guys so I am wondering if anyone has ever run into this.My wifes 2005 x5 3.0i alternator failed over the weekend.The battery light would intermittantly blink come on and go off.Long story short I tested the alternator with a meter sure enough wasnt charging the battery.Also the car would not restart after being shut down.Now fast forward to today.I go a reman valeo alternator.Put it in.Now it charges fine.Except you can pull the key out of the ignition and the car will stay running.I tried fiddling with the lock cylinder but no lock.Only way to shut it down is to pull the fuel pump fuse wait for it to stall.Then once the key is pulled the dash goes off completely.Has anyone had an issue like this before???I am thinking maybe faults have to be cleared.But I highly doubt it would cause something like this???Can anyone chime in and shed some light on this if anything like this has ever occured???
