Hello first post here. I am in the process of trying to determine an issue that I am having with my 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi Magnum.


When I remove the key all accessories are still active (Wipers, Radio, AC/Heat, etc.) This has drained my battery on more than one occasion, so I have to disconnect battery every time I park now. From the research I have done I am pretty sure its either the Cylinder Lock, or Ignition switch. My question is which part controls the accessory mode? I need to know which part to replace. Does anyone have any advice or info? Really appreciate any input. Thanks!

 

Also I wanted to add that the key turns and operates smoothly. The SUV starts right up its just for some reason when I remove the key everything is still active...or able to be operated. Battery still drains if I turn everything off completely.
