The ignition switch will not turn all the way off and sometimes the key will not come out either. Now I have to disconnect the battery to the car to make sure the car is off. How do I get the ignition switch to turn all the way off? Please help. Thanks

It has a park lock solenoid that prevents you from locking the steering column if it is not in Park so that solenoid or the signal to it may be having a problem.

#2 is the solenoid.
