273 motor wont shut off w/key

[johnmucci]

Help...... I recently finished redoing my 66 dart gt 273. Got it on the road, drove it for a few days and last week it would not shut off w/ the key. Had to put the coil wire and the idiot light for oil gauge stays on unless the battery is disconnected. Put a new ignition switch in last night. worked fine for about an hour, drove it home from the garage and it did the same thing. It had electronic ignition, but nothing has really changed except when we redid the body etc, added vintage air, put new alt, v/regulator,starter relay. any ideas???? thanks!

check your grounds, and get a wiring manual, and trace.

Hi, well I starting tracing wiring and found a few "burnt" wires so I replaced the underdash harness. Works Great! Also, I bought a "new style" Voltage regulator that looks exactly like the old one but w/no points and that cured my "flickering lights" Thanks to all of your expertize A Bodies!!! Merry Christmas
