I bought a civic hatchback not too long ago and im thinking that i need a new ignition switch to stop the car from staying on when the key is pulled out in the off position. It starts right up fine. I can here the clicking in the ignition and it moves like it should when the key is in the key hole. I heard it could also be due to a loose ground or relay but am not completey sure. If it is due to a relay is there some sort of ignition relay and does anyone know the location of it, or do i just need a new ignition switch?? Thanks.

I replaced the ignition switch and it did not sole the problem. What the hell could it be?!

I think it is the key cylinder. When you insert the key is it pretty firm or does the key have some play?

No it didnt have any play....but i found out what it was lol it was this jerry rigged wire connected to a fuse under the dash!! i still havent followed the wire to see what it is yet. At least the car turns off with the key now!! Thanks
