Thanks for the replies. I have tried disconnecting the battery for a few hours a couple times and that didn't work. I have also tried retracing my steps numerous times including completely replacing the switch with the old one and then putting the new one back in a few times. When I first replaced the switch, I also had the issue with the half moon not lining up correctly but that made it so the car wouldn't start. The car will start now (with some smoke coming out of the back) but the car will just idle.
I just moved to Georgia, so I don't even have a mechanic that I know of that is reliable in the area, and I would prefer not to have to get the car towed somewhere.
