I can't get my dashboard lights to shut off, after I take out my key.
Since this started also having a problem starting car.
Any suggestions?
Thank You

Sounds like a problem requiring technical assistance, go somewhere and have it looked at. Hard to start and not due to extremely cold weather? need to have battery checked out. If that doesn't work, take it in and get it serviced.

Thank You, for replying, it is being looked at right at the moment, they think there might be a problem with the key, because when they pulled the key out the car was still running. Also the factory key that came with the car will not lock the car since this problem started & the dashboard lights will not turn off when you take the key out. They are also looking at perhaps an ignition problem, any feedback on this will be appreciated.

Sounds like an ign switch problem, or a general module problem.
