Ignition Switch/Alarm

[Chew]

I have just recently bought myself a Calibra Turbo, however i have a few slight niggling problems, one of which is my ignition

When i turn the key off, sometimes the engine carries on running, but even if it cuts out all the ignition lights stay on. For this reason, i am having to take the battery off every night.

Has anyone had this problem?

I thought about just getting a new ignition switch, but if say the fan i running and i turn the key off, the fan goes off, however all the ignition check lights stay on on the instrument panel

Any help would be much appreciated

sounds like somones wired a perm live to a switched live somwhere.

most likely the cd player is wired wrong, especially if its fuse has been changed to a higher rating

There is currently no stereo in the car

Forgot to say it does Have a Clifford G4 Alarm on it with remote window close. Could thie be causing the problem?
