This problem started all of a sudden i guess last night. I went to start the car this morning, but no go. The battery was dead. After i jumped it and got to work, i noticed the head unit stayed on after taking out the key. So i manualy shut it off, and dont ya know, after work, no start again. What could be causing this?​
 
I believe it was a key tumbler/ignition switch. It was like it was stuck in the ACC postition. When i turned off the car yesterday, it worked like it was supposed to, then i hit the switch and it turned back on. I hit it again and it shut back off. :lol:
 
sounds like a good possibility. i know that my ignition switch sticks sometimes and i can actually wiggle the key out with the car in the ACC position.
