Interesting electrical fault
Ignition stays on without the key in...
It's a Corsa that a mate is building.
He's stripped all of the dash and interior out, and I've come along to wire up the 2ltr 16V and cut out all of the old crap relating to the diesel engine.
So, did all of that, hooked up the battery and without the key it's all lit up...
We found it after a bit of pissing about, but anyone know what it might have been?

So, we have 2 people here already clearly far too friendly with dodgy people
Yes, unplug the hazard switch, turn it round, plug it back in - ignition is now on...
Someone fucked up there
