Hi all,

As stated in the title the red 'Run' button on the right seems to be malfunctioning. I know for sure that it used to work as intended just a couple of weeks ago.

Now when the engine is running and i switch to off, the engine keeps running but the light in the dash does turn on, indicating that it somehow is recognizing the switch position.

Anyone have experience with this behavior? See the video below:

For all other occasions I use the key
