painless wiring

Has anyone used a Painless wiring harness for their LSx swap? If so can you please tell me how you wired the fuse block ignition. My truck stays on after the ignition is turned off and key removed. I had to install a toggle switch to cut the power to that wire. i thought it might have been the alt. backfeeding, but i removed the wires from it and still the same problem. Any ideas?

Re: painless wiring

Sounds like you have constant power going into one of your ignition wires in the harness. Maybe you hooked up the wires to your ignition wrong?

Re: painless wiring

It sounds like the power source you needed was a switched source, but it ended up on a hot lead. Doublecheck the ign wiring, throw a multi-meter on there and cycle the power. You should obviously see power cut when you key-off.
