i have a 1966 mustang-302 engine-storing the car for the winter-i turned the car off with the key and the car started up again-pulled the negative battery cable-car shut off-reconnected the negative battery and restarted the car with the key-same problem and if fact i could restart the car with the key in accessory or start position-i am assuming a grounding problem-any ideas

Sounds like the ignition switch has gone bad.

easy replacement.

your engine was running with the key in the run position?

you turned the key off and the engine stopped?

a few seconds later the engine restarted itself but the starter solenoid did not stay engaged?
