Mk3 Lights/ignition Problem

Hi all,

 

Can anyone shed any light (pardon the pun) on the following?:

 

Turn the ignition and the sidelights and brake lights all come on and stay on.

 

I can also keep the car running when I remove the keys if the lights are turned on with the light switch stalk.

 

All other electricals work fine.

 

I'm guessing bad stalk or earth, but its one of those times when I can start by getting a new stalk (If you still can that is) then get a new ignition switch, then all the relays, then new light clusters, etc, same with the earth they're everywhere!

 

Any sensible advice/experience would be appreciated.

cant remember if it was my escort golf or carlton but i changed a relay i remember getting a yellow one from a ford in a scrappy but cant remember what it was. go through your relays when shes running and keys out of ignition. one relay will make it die and thats the one
