    Are you saying that the key will not turn to allow the car to shut off?



    Or, are you saying that the key turns and the engine continues to run?

    ___ Best thing is to just take the switch out and if you can't get the key out take it to a locksmith, which you'll have to do anyway if you don't have spare keys , he can and make you a new key that will work and still have your keys match your door locks, ----BUD
