You can also test the switch by checking for power at the ignition wire when the key is turned to the "on" position. If there's no power or inconsistent readings, the ignition switch may be faulty. Additionally, listen for clicking sounds when turning the key, which can indicate internal problems within the switch.

The ignition switch on your 2003 Sunfire may be stuck due to several reasons, including a worn or damaged key, a malfunctioning ignition cylinder, or a problem with the steering column lock. Additionally, if the vehicle is not in the "Park" position, the ignition switch can become locked as a safety feature. Dust and debris buildup or a dead battery can also contribute to the issue. To resolve it, check the key, ensure the gear is in "Park," and inspect the ignition components for any signs of wear or damage.
