Car Still Runs With Key In Pocket?

[Guest jasper3]

I think its running on alternator because i have rerouted the charging wire to fuse box! Instead of starter or battery but just remembered the fuse box is only live when ignition to on. so when the engine is running and alternator turning its putting its power to fuse box!! hence it dont stop until a wire off coil or it runs out of fuel

Looks like you have already correctly diagnosed your problem.

Some fuses have a switched live, some are constant live. Main charging wire must go to battery pos,either direct or via starter terminal.

Right Nigel test is all ok

had the battery tested all ok

checked continuity all good.

 

On cranking the battery volts drop to 10.5 volts

 

have made a hot lead for ignition live feed and clamped to battery the dash battery light won't light till this is connected ?

 

gave it a good rev and battery light went out drop revs Bach on and no volt increase at battery.
