It may be that when you shut down your car earlier you had your steering wheel turned just so. Try inserting your key in the ignition and turn your steering wheel just slightly and see if that will unlock the switch. I had that happen to me and that is all I needed to do. Hope this helped.

Your 02' impala clicks on every ignition try and wont start what seems to be the problem?

I had the same problem with an 01 Impala. Unfortunaltely the fix isn't cheap. For mine, it was the ignition switch combined with the BCM (Body Control Module). About a grand at the mechanic will fix it. However having said that, I made the repair, and the problem has started again only 6 months later. A quick diagnostic at the mechanic will specify what the problem is.


What could be going wrong if i have 1992 dodge stealth es that seems to be staying in second gear from when you start out and it wont shift?

Your transmission is locked in limp mode. You need to take it to a qualified mechanic to performance diagnostics on the ECU to determine the failure code. When my 91 Stealth ES did that, it was a combination of a shorted plug wire, and ignition coil. Once repaired the ECU needs to be reset.

I've just started having this problem too on my 2002 Malibu. I have found a lot of intermitted turn signal issues, especially for the 2000-01 Malibu, but I am still searching for info on the clicking (turn signal) sound from the dash.
