recently, I came out in the morning and the radio was playing in the vehicle. When i stuck the key in the ignition, and turned it to the on position, the truck started without the key being turned to the start position. when it started, the solenoid stayed engaged. the omly way to get it to stop was to put it in drive. when it was moved, the shifter it started grinding again. Well this morning, when i started the vehicle same thing, except, then i couldn't shut vehicle off, and no wipers or windows working. When i got to work, when i shut the headlights off, it shut the car off. The windows and wipers would only then work when key is in the accessory position. Going iout of my mind for ideas> Help!!

Hi:
It sounds like the ignition switch is bad allowing power to go to the wrong places. I would have it checked.

Let me know what you find. This is an interesting problem. We may have to contact a priest.
