If dropping the handbrake allows the engine to stop then the brake circuit
diode
fitted behind the dash on the passenger side could be short-circuit. If the
handbrake has no effect then suspect a short-circuit diode in the alternator,
which can also cause the ignition light to glow dimly all the time or not at
all.
