sounds like a ignition switch problem, if you turn the key off and it still runs then its still getting power thru the switch, if you reconnect the battery does the gen light com on even with the key ...

first I'd disconect the clock & stereo then remove the + lead from post then lightly touch the lead on the post and see if there is a faint spark[best done at night in the dark]if there is you hav ...

If you mean the voltage drops 2v with just the ign on then you have a short or accesories are drawing to much current, but if you mean when you engage the startermotor then your starter could need loo ...
