you have a short or disconnected wire in the switch. you may need to replace your ignition switch. i have a 89 Jeep and it was doin the same thing: it was the ignition module If one of the wires gets disconnected from the ballast resistor it will do the same thing.

Why does your 2001 jeep Cherokee start but not stay running unless you keep your foot on the gas pedal?
You need a new battery. The same exact problem just happened to me in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee. The computer in the vehicle wont let it run unless it is getting a high amount of voltage from the battery. When you replace the battery, the problem should be fixed.

In your 1992 Caravan rear windshield wiper is running all the time unless you pull out the fuse How can you fix it?
It's possible that the wiper switch is bad, but most likely it's the wiper motor itself. Wiper motors have an internal switch that only turns off when both the manual switch is turned off AND the wiper blade is in the park position. If the wiper motor cannot sense that it has hit the park position, it will run continuously.
Your check engine light on your 1997 ford explorer does not come on when the key is turned in the auxiliary position Mechanic says it will not pass inspection unless the light is on. How do you correc?
Your check engine light will not come on in the auxilary (accesory) position. It comes on when the key is in the on (run) position to check the warning lights just before you start the vehicle.
Is the input voltage on the coil supposed to be constant 12 Volts or 12 Volts then 0 Volts on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee in-line 6 when you turn the key from off to run position?
About 2 seconds after key on, the asd relay shuts off it the computer doesn't see a crank sensor signal. So unless the engine is running or cranking the coil supply volts will turn off.
07 Impreza running lights wont go off when car off unless fuse taken out. Running light headlight switch not turned on Rear lights psgr side running light and parking stay on Drvr sidedontstayon?
Make sure that the switch on the top of the steering column in turned off. That controls the running lights on the car. FYI that switch is basically used if you are pulled over somewhere and don't need help but yet you need your lights on and still need to take your keys.
