Hello... I,m T/A76 and I have 3 T/A,s that have all had that happen...It,s common! The tumbler in the iqnition itself is the problem. All you need is a new iqnition and you can buy them new at Auto Zone,Murry,s,Advanced Auto etc. Basicly anywhere.

you need to be more specific. i am going to assume you want to know in what position is the ignition switch in lock. usually it is 2 positions back from "run" but it is in whichever position the key comes out of the ignition.

Jaguar x type How do you program the key fob?

Open the driver side door. Turn the ignition switch to the 'auxiliary' position, then turn the ignition switch to the 'ON' position and back to the 'auxiliary' position four times. *This must be done fairly quickly. If you have done it correctly, you will hear a chime. Turn the ignition switch to 'OFF' position. Remove the key from the ignition. To program the transmitter, press any key within ten seconds. **If it worked, you should hear another chime. Close the door.

It happened to me, im not saying it is the same thing but look into it, mine was a actuator and pin in the steering column that was broken and wouldn't pull back when you turned the ignition off.AnswerSounds like you have a bad ignition switch. It stays in the run position instead of going to the off position and stopping the flowing of current to the ignition.


How do you reset car remote?

First go sit in the driver's side seat, and make sure that all the doors are closed. But the key into the ignition, and switch to the on position. Push the lock button for one second. Turn the ignition to the off position, and then back to on and push the lock button on the remote again. Keep doing this three more times, the remote should make a noise that it is entering reprogramming mode. At that point, leave the ignition on the on position while it reprograms.
