Ignition Switch Problems

I am having problems with a scorpio I have recently bought. When ever I pull out the key the lights come on low and the stero stays on. I'm not entirley sure what is wrong but I am thinking of connecting a simple swtich to the livewire from the battery and placing it on the dash. Is it easy to do? I had a similair switch years ago in another car and thought this would solve the problem.

Also if it is possible which colour wire am I attaching the switch too?

Thanks

Re: Ignition Switch Problems

If you're referring to the interior light coming on when you take out the key, I'm pretty sure this is a normal convenience feature. Maybe the radio wiring's at fault.
