when the key is in the ingition and in the on position with the car running , i can pull the key out an the car still stays running. so is this normal? & if not why does this do it?
Hi there , no this is not normal. You may have a very worn ignition cylinder. I am a locksmith in Queen creek Az and I do a lot of ignition repairs. The ignitions in most Gm, Ford , Dodge, Chryslers ect were all made by the same manufacturer and all had the same problems. It does it because the waffers have worn down and the key catch in the front of the lock has been worn and or damaged. Thank you , Quinn Texada.
No, it's not normal. Ignition cylindercylinder malfunctions, cause the operation of the key itself to become problematic. If the tumblers become stripped, the locklocklockcylinccylinder may be able to turn with any key, or you may be able to remove the key when the car is on. If the tumblers begin to shift, the locklocklockcylindercylindercylinder may not turn. Sometimes the key can be wiggled until the locklocklockcylindercylindercylinder turns, but it is important to remember that this is only a temporary fix.

check engine light is on, a green light below the check engine light goes off and on intermittently, the fog lights don't work, there seems to be a short between the radio and the steering wheel. The clock doesn't show up, but the radio works when the steering wheel is moved up or down.

2002 PT Cruiser Limited Edition. The driver side door lock will not operate with the keyless remote ( will not unlock or lock with remote) but the other 3 doors and the hatch door all work with the keyless remote?? The door lock button on the interior driver door will not operate the locks on any of the doors. But when the car is put in drive and you begin to move the doors will lock except for the drivers door?? When I push the keyless remote numerous times repeatedly "lock"/ "unlock" it sometimes works where all the doors, including the drivers door, will lock and unlock like they are suppose to. Any clue as what the problem is with the drivers door?
