Hello,
Really you need a Tech 2 to diagnose the problem. The easiest and something you could try would be to remove the ignition switch module and clean it. This may be the problem so it is worth a try. Especially with the weird things such as it thinking the key is still in the ignition switch module. Other possible causes are steering lock or CIM. You can search and find out how to remove, disassemble and clean the ignition switch module. For awhile we had to clean them years ago at the dealership when none were available. Also they are not sold complete anymore, just the internal electrical parts and you have to disassemble and install the repair portions. Good Luck, Bernie
