Battery wouldn't hold a charge. It was a couple of years old, so I replaced it. Several days later, new battery failed. So I had the alternator rebuilt and the battery charged. Still not charging. And now, the car won't turn off after I disengage the ignition, and I have to unplug the alternator (car continues to run after pulling battery cables). Please help.

Thanks for the quick answers. Would the ignition switch also explain why my battery isn't charging?

I would think there are issues with your ignition switch.when the key is in the off possition and the key removed, that engine ought to shut down. un plugging the altornator under load will blow the field.you are lucky the thing still works when disconnected from battery. that showes your alt, is still working... your coil, alt, starterand some times radio all are connected through the ignition switch.they become live when switch is on, and ought to shut off when key is out of it

your alternator is charging in case you unplug it and it keeps operating yet you may run down the wires that come off your distributer less than the distribeter its pronounced as a stator now this received't enable it commence no matter if that is undesirable do your self a large want and flow on line and search for HAYNES fix manuals and get one on your motor vehicle reason it sounds to me the cord that sends the signal reducing the potential to the distributer is undesirable or ought to also be the distributer get the e book and it is going to help you worry shoot your gadget
