I hate to start a new thread on this but my earlier queries about replacing the ignition switch were answered. I think I'm in the weeds now, because I replaced the switch easily enough but the car still thinks the key is in the "on" position. Do need to remove the lock cylinder and do something to it, too?
This is an '01 Jetta sedan I bought from someone recently, needed "some" (ha!) exhaust work, but she didn't mention the switch was constantly open, which drains the battery. Also the immobilizer was activated, but I think I can get around that when the time comes. I already had the car running. Now I'm in the process of putting it back on the road.
Not sure how to proceed.
