curious why the light?
If not then it won't shut off with the key. So at least I now have a light under the hood when I turn on the key. Even put a led light in and it's Brite. Once it starts the light goes out. Idk why because wiring is something that I'm not the best at.

It just adds a small load to the circuit. Acts kind of like a diode/resistor.


Yeah it must be back feeding to the ignition/distributor somehow.

That thing is so short it reminds me of this death machine we had in our wild days. It was a chevy luv Frame with engine and front suspension with steering column and manual transmission. Rear axle moved and welded to frame hard tail and a bench seat sitting on top, 4 foot or less wheel base so it turned on a dime at any speed lol. We named it the couch, and drive it to the store when we got thirsty lol.
