[MJH>] I created this problem recently when I tried to reconnect my backup
lights on my '69. Turned off the key, withdrew the key and the engine
continued to run. Figured out that there must be some short (probably thru
the hazard light). Disconnected the backup harness bullet connections in
the engine compartment and it behaved again.
