Sounds like your key switch is either bad or wired incorretly. Did you recently change it or rewire for some reason?

At the switch, Blue wire to one "M" terminal, White wire to the other "M" terminal. At the engine terminal board, be certain to jump Blue wire to ground.

If you have a VOM or test light, test for continuity between the two "M" terminals with the switch off.
