I Need Help PLEASE
i need help!!!
i have a 64 f100 with an early 80's carbureted 302. i have had trouble with the alternator light on the instrument cluster staying on, it finally killed my battery and so i charged it up and then i had starter solenoid problems so i replaced it and hooked it up the same way as the bad one had been. it fixed that problem so i focused back on the alternator. I cut the harness off and discovered that one of the wires had broken. it was a yellow one to be exact. i hooked this back together with a but connection and stated the truck up. after i got the rpms up the light went off and the alternator was charging. i drove it down the road and stopped a couple places and truck cut off fine but when i drove home and turned the key off the truck continued to run like i hadn't turned it (runs like a motor should, sits and idles fine). i pulled the battery cables off and it continued to run. only way i got it to cut off was to choke it out. does this every time i try to cut it off with the ignition switch. can anyone tell me what could be wrong?
