Trouble starting

Ford Explorer 1997 4L v6 sohc 76000 miles
When you put the key in ignition and turn to start the car will not start,you turn the key to off and remove the key all the dash lights stay on only way to turn them off is disconnect the battery. We can start the car with a wire from battery to starter relay but it will not switch off and carries on running even with key out so we have to pull the battery lead off or unplug the ignition switch. The ignition switch and ignition barrel have been replaced but this has not solved the problem. Any help will be appreciated

Started with turn Signals

Ford Explorer 1999 Automatic 4WD, 3.9l v-6 205000 miles
It started with the turn signals I change the fuse for the turn signals three times within 2 days. Then all of sudden the hazards and turn signals weren't working but the fuse was fine. I tried looking stuff up on the internet at that moment and seemed mentioning of I believe it's called the hazard relay but it's under the dash directly above the OBD2 hook up. So I unplugged it, took it off took it into AutoZone to see if they had a new part and I was just going to buy a brand new relay to to replace it. But they didn't have one so I took the old one back out plug it back up and all of a sudde… Read complete

My guess would be a bad ground to the dash panel somewhere, or a damaged wire that is grounding intermittently. Also try a new flasher unit.

2001 Ford explorer XLT no start after transmission install

Ford Explorer 2001 Xlt/4.0 0 miles
I bought a 2001 Ford explorer XLT not running. The transmission had been replaced, and it ran before the transmission was pulled. After the transmission has been installed it would not start back since then the pump has pretty much rotted off into the tank. I replaced the pump, but do not have power to the pump or the safety switch I can bypass the relay and the pump will run so I'm not getting power to my relay what do I do? After being prompted to enter my mileage on this but I realize that it does not show mileage on the instrument cluster it just has dashes

Car wont crank

Ford Explorer 1997 v-6 260000 miles
I have changed the battery and the starter because my car sometimes starts and then wont start. I've wiggled the ignition and the tilt steering wheel to check if it was the ignition and it started. Then i turned car off and next day would not start again. I haven't gotten the car to start again since. Maybe relay?
