99 windstar headlighs stay on

[woodwomper]

Hello all I am having a heck of a time with this van. The headlights stay on the radio stays on the windows roll down and the wipers work all with the key off. The starter will not engage and I have no power to the key switch.(when I turn the thing on or off I get nothing) I took the dash apart and unhooked the light switch. The lights were still on. I pulled all the fuses in the interior fuse box out and still lights were on. I had to pull both the relays out in the battery fuse box to shut head lights off. I can take a jumper wire from pos post on battery and with the key on and all the fuses in and everything hooked up and roll the starter by jumping pos to energizer post on solenoid. Unit will not start up. I know I am not getting current to my key switch to turn on the ignition. Does any body have any idea where to look for porblem. I have chased wires now for two days and can find no fault. I even went into fusebox and looked for short. Is this a computer problem or a wire problem? I did unhook ecm by drives inside fuse box with every thing else hooked up and got a clicking inside box like a relay was working. Any advice would be a great help (other than burning the thing LOL) thanks for a reply if only to tell me get a gun and shoot it LOL

any after market ( command start or secruity system)

Thank you very much for reply. No aftermarket starter system nor secruity system is found. I too thought that when it started. I am sure it is a stuck relay but why do I get no power to the key switch. It has to be external of the interior (I think) as I have unplugged everything inside and still lights are on. I even thought that the key switch was shorting out and unplugged it. Nothing changed. Called a dealership and all they would say is tow it in and it will take a lot of time to find it. I have to unplug both of the power relays in the battery fuse box to get unit shut down. One will powerup the right headlight and the other powers up the left headlight and running lights. Does the computer control these relays? only thing I have plugged in now is the ecm by drivers side fuse box. If I unplug all three lower inpiuts the lights will go out. This Dude is driving me crazy!!!! If the relays out side are powered why can I not get current to key switch? I have more test lights and volt meters and ohm meters hanging off this thing that It looks like it is in the ICU of a hospitial. Any help is welcome and thank you again

make sure the gem model is not wet, located under the dash by the steering wheel right above or back side of the fuse panel. I wil try to remeber to look it up at work and look at thw wiring diagram.
