Took 1970 1.7 to mechanic to lookover for body/frame integrity after battery leak due to voltage regulator malfunction. Mechanic cleaned battery box (what was left of new one) with water and called to tell me car will not turn off. Had car for many years and never a problem.

Mechanic replaced ignition but still will not turn off. I replaced brain/computer which did not work either. Made sure grounds were clean but otherwise, at loss??? Any suggestions?

Considering putting a kill switch in and be done with it but prefer to figure out problem.
