Thank You

Pulling the relay will not turn off the power to the ignition system.
So you are keeping power on to both the EEC power relay and the Ignition System. This would have to be the Ignition switch or the adjustment of the Ignition Switch.

You say you replacrd the ign. switch. Was it the ign./start switch under the dash or the key switch on the column? If it was the the electrical switch under the dash then you possibly need to replace the ign. switch actuator which connects the key switch to the ign. switch.

The actuating rod runs down from the key switch along the bottom of the steering column to the switch down near the brake. I could never figure how to get into mine, I paid about 120.00 to have it replaced at the shop, parts and all.
