You should have said so initially. There's your problem. The cable won't stop you from turning off the car. It will stop you turn the switch far enough to remove the key. Those ignition switches IPD sells are pure garbage. It is made by MTC. One of my customers had a 940 ignition switch that was getting flaky and needed a new switch. I told him to buy a new switch from Volvo and I would install it for him. He insisted on saving the money and bought that MTC garbage, even after I told him if it fails for any reason, he will be paying me to install a new switch again. I would not guarantee the install of an MTC part. That piece of garbage lasted less than one day. He drove the car to work, couldn't shut it off, I explained to him over the phone how to kill it by pulling fuse #2. He disconnected the battery ground to keep from draining the battery while he was at work. He reversed the process to get home. Did the same. Did the same again to bring me the car to put in the new Volvo switch 2 days later. The internals of that switch just twisted up in to a chunk of junk. I'm betting that is what you are going to find, unfortunately.
Faaaaaaawwwwwkkkkk...
Wonder what IPD says? Rotsa ruck round eye?
