Ammeter bypass

I did this by pass last weekend on my 73 Swinger and it works great but have a bigger problem. Since doing the by pass my car will not shut off, even after removing the key. The alt. is good because with battery pulled she still runs just as smooth, but I have to place a ratchet against the starter relay stud, then touch the iron manifold, cancelling the current to shut her off. I know, very bad thing to do, but only did twice, just to make sure that is what shut her off. I have heard everything from ignition switch, ballast resister, alt. Has anyone had this issue?


What changes have you made in the wiring? You have a factory alternator / regulator or a Delco, etc?

You may have created some kind of feedback loop.

Try getting the car running, the unplug the ignition switch connector where it exits the column
