    Starter jams in and keeps turning.

    Every now and then my starter will engage and stay engaged spinning the engine over. I had it retarded at the time but had been starting it up a fair bit before checking other stuff. Only way i could stop it was to put it in gear and let the clutch out quickly staling the engine i suppose...

    Stop lights stay on.

    I've noticed at times when putting the car in the garage the brake lights are stuck on, press the pedal a few times and they go out. Could this be causing a short.

    Am i missing a wire in the junction box ?

    The left side of the junction box has the wire from the ammeter (Yellow) that is all that's on that terminal. Should there be another wire on that terminal. I'm using an electronic ignition 12v neg and an alternator. PS The ammeter doesn't move.
