Ignition Switch Problem

[Dave Cleveland]

Okay,
I finally got the Cobra out for the summer and began looking into this ignition problem.
The car still runs for about five seconds when the key is turned off. Here's what I've done so far. I pulled the switch out and created a test circuit with a light bulb to verify the switches operation. It turned the light out immediately when shut off, thereby eliminating itself as a possible source of the problem.
I checked all of the wires connected to the switch to make sure they were in good condition. They all checked out fine. I also made sure the electric fan was shut off when I shut the car off. It made no difference whether the fan was on or off.
My next step is to replace the voltage regulator as suggested by Bob. I will keep you posted as to the outcome.
If you have any more suggestions please let me know.

Thanks
Dave C.
