Engine will not shut off. Had to pull fuses to kill motor. I checked all fuses and relays and all seem good. Replaced all fuse and now it wiil not start. When turning key to start all lights within the dash light up like starting, but engine/starter does not do anything. Can hear electric fuel pump running.

Engine will not shut off, now it won't do anything-sounds like you need to start by checking the ignition switch

Your going to have to check power coming out of the switch going to the starter.

I ordered a igntion switch from O'Reilly's and it will be here tomorrow. It was only about $20 and they thought since it was not the fuses to try this. So I will replace it tomorrow and see if that works. Thank You all for your help, but if that is not it what should my next step be????? THANKS
