Wiring Problem

Your problem is not clear enough described.

But I would not recommend you to drive the car

with this problem to the body shop. A fire could

possibly occur. You could tow with the battery

disconnected. Your problem is a short in the

part of the wiring that would be "hot" with the

key in the "on" position. The "accessory" postion

of the key would only activate accessories radio,

etc. Wiring is either hooked up wrong or htere is a short somewhere. I would backtrack all

"hot" wires from the ignition switch to their

end. As the wiring gets hot, you might be able

to actually feel the short. GOOD LUCK!!
