Why does your 1970 Ford Maverick keep cranking sometimes even when you take out the key from the ignition?

Sounds liek your ignition switch is bad. Instead of it turning to the off position and disconnecting the electrical power to the coil which kills the engine, yours is staying in the STart or crank position allowing the currect to continue to flow. You may be able to spray some electrical contact cleaner in the ignition switch and solve the problem, but if it is the original switch, you may be lookign at replacing it since it is 36 years old and in time they do wear out and get gunked up.
AnswerCheck the starter relay, it's probably on the drivers side fender. If the relay sticks it will hold the starter circuit.Wiki User
