WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COMES ON AND FLASHES. THEN THE CAR DIES. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL RESTART BUT NOW IT IS GETTING SO IT WILL NOT RESTART. WE HAVE PUT A CODE CHECKER ON IT AND IT DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING BEING WRONG.
WE THOUGH WE WOULD CHANGE THE IGNITION SWITCH (THE ONE THAT PLUGS IN UNDER THE DASK) BUT CAN'T GET IT OUT...CAN YOU HELP AND DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE PROBLEM? YOU CAN MOVE THE KEY AND ALL THE LIGHTS GO CRAZY.[img:f70b879804]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/130248_Picture_010_1.jpg[/img:f70b879804]

If wiggling the key does that, then yes it is a good place to start. To remove the ignition switch the steering wheel has to come off.Which means the airbag needs to be disabled and it takes some special tools.If you can get the puller for the steering wheel, then go here for full step-by-step instructions
