My 2001 Simplicity Regent won't turn off using the key in the ignition switch. It will start the engine though. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello JR, welcome to the forum.

To turn off the engine, your key switch provides a ground circuit to the ignition coil to kill spark. There is a wire running from the ignition coil to the keyswitch for this purpose. The wire may be disconnected, broken, or maybe a corroded connection. Also, the keyswitch may be defective, or maybe the keyswitch needs a cleanup to the ground connection.

Thanks, I will give that a try!
