Used a friends late 1990s model grand am. All was fine as we stopped
for gas minutes from home. Afterwards started the car and drove away,
when I noticed the highbeam indicator on. Tried to turn off but it
wouldn't respond. Then noticed we had no wipers, heat, radio or
anything else. At home decided to turn the car off and then on in hopes
of resetting compture. Still nothing, but this time the key in the
ingition would not turn off. Kept trying but the key would not turn
off. When turned forward you would hear the start grind as the car was
still running. Evenually in hopes of turning the car off disconnected
the battery cables, but as excepted it didn't help as the car was
running and the battery wasn't needed. Finally figured out by turning
the key forward seemed to short the system and the car turned off, but
the key was still locked in the on position. Left it for the nite with
the hope of having better luck in the morning, but unfortunately had
none. Reconnected the battery, gas automatically started to pump with
power flashing. Turned the key forward then started the car, but all
was the same. Shortly after had to do the same to turn car off. It
would be much appreciated if anyone could offer any assists. thanks
kindly.
