ignition stays on?

[Thursday]

ok so i just did a sohc to dohc swap.


ive done them before with no issues.



but this swap has been a nightmare. so check it.


when i put the key in the ignition but DONT start the car and take the key out the ignition stays on and all my dash light dont turn off.


but if i do that and start the car and turn it off it works normally.



any ideA?

was it an auto to 5 speed swap as well? mine is kind of quirky like that too when i did my auto to 5 speed sr swap. If i put the ignition on, i HAVE to turn the car on before taking the key out or the lock wont release and give me the key. There's a plug under the steering column that i have to play with to get it just right, maybe try unplugging that

I have the same issue on mine, but it started when I did my auto-> 5sp swap. Ive just been dealing with it, but if someone has a fix thatd be great.
