Three times today my car would not shut off with the key.

With the engine running I pulled the battery ground..car kept running. They I pulled the battery positive.. car kept running.



Now I have been running a 12V GM alternator for the last year and once in a great while this would happen. i would reach under the dash and wiggle the wiring loom from the switch and I could get the car to shut off. Well not now.



The car is not using the wiring loom from the regulator to the alternator. I took it off. I have a one wire alt. and the wire from the alt. goes direct to the solenoid. Again I did not have this problem but twice last year. I have removed the bulb from the gen light gauge as it would stay red while driving. I did this last year. Also the old voltage regulator is still wired into the loom. I only disconnected the generator portion as it was no loner needed.



I know there is a solution without going to a new wiring harness. I couldn't find the old thread I read a couple years ago about this problem.



Please help. As you must have already come to the conclusion, as I have that the alt is back feeding the ignition but where?
