Electrical problem
1995 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My niece was given a Ford Taurus by a friend that won't turn off without pulling battery and main spark plug. Ignition was replaced and functions properly. Any ideas?

Prime suspect would be the ignition switch. Also possible is a couple of wires in the harness may have frayed or burned and the conductors are crossing.
