'87 560sel - Engine Running With Ignition Off! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Love this forum! It has been a big help to a newbie, but I can't find any posts that address my problem, so here goes...

I have a 1987 560 SEL that has run perfect until today. It died as I was turning into parking lot at work & wouldn't restart. Searched on the forum & narrowed problem down to fuel pump relay. I used a jumper wire to bypass relay & car started right up!
After patting myself on the back, I turned off ignition BUT THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING! I'm sure ignition was completely off, I had the key in my hand. Pulling the jumper cut off fuel & killed engine.
Do I have several problems going on here? Or is the engine running related to the relay bypass? This is my daily driver so I need to find a solution ASAP.
All suggestions & advice appreciated!
