engine will not shut off.
Have a 97 explorer 4wd xlt push rod. the key will not turn the engine off( when the unit is hot) with head lights on, i turn key off engine runs, i reach over and turn the headlights off engine will shut off. start back with the headlights off the engine will shut right off, but if i turn the healights on on while it is running and leave them on it will not shut off, unless i turn headlights off.cold start does fine.. i can turn ign key to the off position radio stops playing,so i know it is not the the switch or rod. I was going down the highway and lost dash lights and taillights the other day i moved the switch alittle and they came back on the ign switch worked perfect that day . anyone esle had this problem.

I fixed a ranger that was doing almost the same thing ! About the same year I think . The headlamp switch was bad , backfeeding to the GEM and keeping the ecm relay lit ! A new headlamp switch fixed that one .
Good luck !

Thanks, was thinking that but before i tore everything down to get in there thought i would ask and make sure there was not other little gremlins that might be in there. have been lucky, 349,000 with afew minor problems, was hoping it wasn't the gem again.
