Ignition Key

Morning all,

This may be a really quick and easy fix, but I'm not great with electronics. When I turn the key off in the ford ignition barrel it doesn't cut the engine out...

Is this a wiring problem or is it something internal?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Chris

I'm not too sure, if I turn the key off, the dials drop to zero, but the engine won't stop running.

Thanks,

Chris

I would say that it's definately a wiring fault, possably running on the alternator output. This needs to be cut when you turn off the ignition. HTH Ray
