Default CJ7: Engine stays on after I turn the key!?

My engine keeps on running, and I therefore have to disconnect the
power/cable that powers to the MSD6 unit.

I have also tried to disconnect all the wires/plugs comming from the
steering column, but the engine is still running - so I'm pretty sure that
its not the key-switch.

When the engine/key is off, I still have 2.0 Volt in the above cable that
powers the MSD unit...?

Same result with hifi disonnected from battery.

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Thomas

I may be a short in one of your starter solenoids' coil bypass,
disconnect it.

Yes, vist the MSD website http://www.msdignition.com/
and get the Ford Duraspark directions. Insert the diode
as directed and that will stop your runon problem.
