1995 Ford Escort electrical system problems

On 05/19/99, the lights on the dashboard as well as the seatbelts were not functioning at all.there were no indicator lights to warn of a problem other than a possible fuse burn out. Less than 24 hours later, the vehicle burned.the vehicle was parked in a 2 car garage.the entire vehicle burned along with the garage in which it was housed.the vehicle parked next to it had severe smoke damage.all occupants of the home were asleep at the time of the fire.

I cannot shut off the engine in my 1995 ford escort station wagon. The engine continues to run even though the ignition is turned to off and the key has been removed. There have been 4 ignition switches installed in this car, but the locksmith does not believe that the ignition switch is the problem. He believes that something is not working in the computer that tells the engine to shut off.
