On my 95 Escort, when I take out the key and with lights off, the beeper still sounds when the door is opened. Three independent ASE service places have worked on it and two different Ford dealers have replaced the ignition switch. Each time it is fixed for about two or three days and then it starts beeping again when it shouldn't be beeping. The last time I took it back to the Ford dealer after they put in a new ignition switch, they sprayed the new switch with graphite which of course did nothing to solve the problem. I would think it shouldn't be rocket science for a Ford dealer or ASE service center to replace an ignition switch correctly. I now have over $600 into a stupid switch. Does Ford have any qualified technicians who know how to replace an ignition switch?
