So I've played the vacuum game for years now and I've beaten it once or twice. Currently the locking system has won with a leak I haven't got time to fix, so it's been blocked off.

I had an odometer/speedo issue that was fixed by replacing the speedo cable. Immediately (and I mean immediately) after the new speedo cable was put in the engine won't shut off by the key. I know I must've bumped something, but I can't for the life of me figure out where. I've checked every connection on the engine side of the firewall and haven't found a leak.

So is there a connection right up on the ignition I could've disconnected while running the new speedo cable into the dash? I've never had a "no shutoff" problem before just an "extremely delayed shutoff."
