Port Engine Continues To Run Even With Key Removed...
Thought it was a bad ignition switch- replaced it- tested it- worked normally. Then when back at dock omce again it failed to shut down.
I’ve been reading a ton and maybe an alternator diode? Have an alternator on order..
Could be the wiring harness maybe?
Has anyone had this issue?

I did this inadvertently to a truck once. Wired an LED into the ignition so it would light when the key was OFF and go OFF when the key was ON. Worked great, except there was a trickle of current going through when the IGN was on, so if the vehicle was started, it would not shut off. A bad ground between two accessories can do the same thing.
