Question strange ignition problem

Hey, I have a 81 Bronco with a 351M in it. When I turn my key to accessory the engine starts turning over. I've replaced the ignition switch, pulled the steering column apart and nothing seems to be out of place or worn. So if anyone has any thoughts on what could be the problem, please let me know! Thanks!

check the ignition switch contact point for bridging...it sounds like the start circuit is getting juice when the key is on acc...also check to see if your ign switch plug is on right.

let us know what you find
