If your 1976 CJ5 motor runs with the key off, it may be due to a faulty ignition switch or a wiring issue that allows power to bypass the switch. Another possibility is that the engine is receiving power from an aftermarket accessory or a malfunctioning relay. Additionally, if there's a short circuit, it could create a pathway for the electrical current, keeping the engine running even when the key is turned off. It's advisable to check the ignition system and wiring for any faults to resolve this issue.
