Just noticed today, after I turned off the car there wasa continuous beeping, as if I had unbuckled the seatbelt or the startup beeping. If I close the door it goes away, but the car will not lock electronically (pretty much a hard lock if that makes sense) but will unlock at the same time electronically. I can’t find anything left on in the car(the radio I keep off because it doesnt really work and the air is off).

After looking this up, the only real conclusion I could find is that the ignition switch could be going bad. I’m just not sure which to start with, the $10 switch or buy the now $275 assembly that i’m not sure works with my model.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
