First, disconnect the 'positive' battery cable. Insert key. Rotate the switch to on position. Leave key in switch. Examine the face of the switch. You will see a small hole, about the size of a paper clip. Insert paper clip into hole. Rotate key to 'full' forward position as if starting. Pull on the key. Your switch should be easily removed. I did this on my 1992 Aerostar and it worked fine. Also, you might do a Google search. That is where I got my information.

Your key switch contact inside the ignition switch cylinder may be stuck closed. You may need to replace the switch or the ignition key cylinder.

How do you replace the ignition switch in a 1987 grand marquis with broken tumbles?
found this, might be the same, Merry Christmas, anyways! :) For a 1988 Mercury Marquis remove bottom shroud from steering column (5 Philips head screws). There is a wire running from the ignition switch to the left side of the steering column; detach it from the coupler (This can be done without a tool). Turn key to ON position until the panel lights come on. There is a small pin near the bottom of the key lock; push it in and pull the ignition switch out (don't panic if the wire seems to be stuck; it will come out). To replace, turn new ignition switch to same position. Push pin on the ignition switch in while sliding it back into the steering column. Reconnect wire and then replace shroud.
