    were is the ignition switch on our cars:huh:

    went to start the car yesterday and it would not stop trying to start... went to turn the car off and the key actually came out while it was running!!!:mad::bs:

    so i ran to unplug the battery and im trying to see if it was the ignition switch but i can find it!!!

    talked to maverick maniac and i guess he had to go real quick.. he mentioned it was on the firewall and then i lost my at&t bars:bs:

    stuck solenoid, when that happens again, give it a good whack, then buy a new one.
