Are you sure the ignition switch is properly adjusted? When you turn it to the off position, it should cut the power to the PCM (ignition, fuel.)

Yes it even turn properly and makes a click noise very quietly. When it is put in to the turn off position, but noting happens. Because the problem is not the switch it is the ground wire that runs to the switch. Dose anybody know were to find the wire end that connects the ground to the switch?
