Answer
Good Morning Ivan. You need to  make sure that the relay is the right one. Check  the numbers on it  and count  the pins on  the relay. Siince this was not a probllem  before installing the new relay, i  would  say it is  the wrong one.  Thanks and i hope this helps. Also try the old relay  and  see if the car will  cut   off.   If  it  does then check the relay.Thanks, Rick
