Question
Gene when i turn the ignition the car starts but as soon as i let go of the key the car shuts down. So if i keep the key turned forward the car stays running. When i release the key it shuts down. Also when u turn the key in the 2 position on the ignition no power comes to the car(no A/C, no dash light's turn on). Thank you for your time.

Answer
Randall,

Wow there must be a rash of these ignition switches going bad all of a sudden. You are the 3rd one I have had in 2 weeks.
In any case, you need to buy the electrical part of the ignition switch and install it. It is not too expensive and possibly you can manage it yourself.

Good luck,
Thanks
