this might seem like a weird problem but its bugging me... i noticed yesterday that after i shut the truck off the gear indicator light on the dash is staying on. normally is would be on when the key is "on" or when it is turned one click forward so that you can move the shifter without turning on the ignition. but it would always be off whenever the key was. now its staying on. anyone ever had yours do this? ideas? ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!:mad:

Sounds like the ignition switch might be going out - it's on the column,
not where the key goes

the key does not have the switch on the back side of it is what is referred to, the ignition switch is located on the column and has a rod connected to a gear from the key tumbler to the ignition switch to activate it, it could just be out of adjustment
