Well, I don't know what the hell happened. Yesterday I parked it and went to shut it off by turning the key, I even took it out and the motor was still running. Eventually I had to take a fuse out cause it wouldn't stop. Any ideas what could this be?
thanks in advance

Sounds to me like it's either possesed or your rig is trying to tell you to take it wheelin' !!! Seriously though, it sounds like yo may have a bad key switch. (not the ignition switch under the dash)

im still in the process of tracing it and i think it's leading me to the headlight switch. the headlight switch burned out, so no instrument panel lights, it might be shorting something out with the ignition. ill find out tomorrow
thanks
