I have the same problem.
I thought it was in the key side of the switch, so I bought one to replace it.
When I went to install the new one I had purchased, I found that it did not have any spring in it to return it to the start postion.
After this I removed the wired side, dismantled it and discovered that the metal piece that makes the switch return had broken off.
I did repair it although it has not completly fixed the problem.
I would suggest a new switch on the wired side.

The actual problem is the starter continues to turn after key is turned off and pulled out of ignition.
how do i find the neutral, or clutch switch on a 2003 ford F150?
no. Make sure wiper is in "OFF" position before you turn off your car.
Ignition relay is probably shot. It is in the power distribution block in the motor comprtment.
To remove the ignition key switch without a key on a 1979 Ford F150, first disconnect the battery to avoid electrical issues. Then, access the ignition switch by removing the steering column cover. You can then use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to manipulate the ignition switch's locking mechanism, allowing you to detach it from the column. Be cautious, as this method may damage the switch or steering column.

To replace the ignition switch on a 1993 Ford F150, first disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any electrical issues. Remove the steering column cover by unscrewing the screws, then locate the ignition switch, which is usually mounted on the steering column. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old switch, unbolt it, and install the new ignition switch in the reverse order, ensuring everything is securely reconnected before reassembling the column and reconnecting the battery. Finally, test the new switch to ensure it functions properly.
I just purchase a f150 that needs a new ignition switch and the man at auto zone gave me directions with pictures and diagrams, I hope this is of some use. Good Luck!
The ignition switch is usually mounted to the steering column and is operated by a linkage rod. NOTEOn column-mounted ignition switches, don't confuse the switch with the lock cylinder and keys. The ignition switch is not normally visible. On some vehicles, the steering column support has to be removed and the column lowered to find the ignition switch. On others, the switch is accessible under the dash.The ignition switch is operated by the key switch. Courtesy of Ford Motor Company. To replace the switch: * Remove the ignition switch wiring harness. * Unbolt it from its position. * Bolt the new switch into position. * Attach the witing harness.
