Ignition switch puzzle

Posted by R Wyler on January 24, 2013 at 18:27:05 from (70.137.19.195):

I must be overlooking something and or have a lack of understanding of electric current. Anyhow I just re wired a Moline tractor that I got to running. I found an easy to understand diagram for an alternator and all seems to work great. All new wires and brand new volt meter. It has the on off swich then the push button for the starter. At first all worked great, Now the thing will not shut off with the switch. Now this is where it gets really strange. I have the switch going to the coil and then other wire going to the volt meter on the same post that the coil wire is on I think that is also the post that the sensor wire is hooked to I forgot. Anyhow when I turn the switch one direction the test light comes on when hooked to the posts ont he switch and the volt meter goes off. THEN when the light is turned off with the switch the volt meters comes on.... Also the switch now seems to be backwards from what used to be on and off. This is so strange it is almost scarey. I am not real good with electrics so maybe I am not understanding something???
