This is Jimmy t again.
2 weeks ago, try to start my 72 mustang for a ride. Sounded terrible like the starter was engaged even after the engine started. Try to turn the ignition off, key would turn , but would not turn engine off. finally killed. By then battery was dead. On Saturday, I tried to jump it. But as soon as I connected the battery, the engine tried to turn over. After checking some of the comments, I figured it may be the ignition switch. As per the info, I was told I could verify that by disconnecting the ignition wire to the solenoid and try to jump it again. It was described as the small wire. Well, I am confused with that description. If someone can post a picture and point me to the right wire, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks
