There's a little switch in the steering column that is pressed when you insert the key in the ignition lock cylinder. Sounds like it's stuck. Try spraying a little bit of WD-40 into the lock cylinder. If that doesn't fix it I would just live with it. You're looking at about two hours of labor to replace the switch. Not worth it in my opinion. Hope that helps! Jim
