Does your key come out in accessories position?
I did something silly the other day. I had the radio turned down, parked and got out of the car. When I turn off the truck the key commonly swings all the way back to accessory and the key comes out in that position. I do this all the time. If the radio is on, I notice and without putting the key back in I can rotate the key back up to "off". I didnt notice that day and drained my battery. No big deal. However I was wondering if this is "normal" does the key come out in accessory position on your truck?
thanks.
thanks.

I have 2 keys. They both do it. So cylinder then?
Can someone adjust the door locks for the new key that comes with the ignition cylinder, or am I going to have to replace those if I want them to match?
if so, who would do that kind of door job, a locksmith?
I've never had to replace key/lock cylinders on a vehicle, but on a VW I once replaced the ignition switch(ever electrical switch or connector in a vw will eventually fail!). Seems like it would be similar.

Not necessary as I was mistake about the 2nd key...it DOES NOT do it.
I would have sworn I had tried both keys...but I think a year ago when I first noticed the issue I only tried the same key twice.
I have 1 dodge cut key, as well as a second key that was cut on a generic blank. I thought for sure I had tried both keys. However, before I pulled out my wallet and ordered a part I thought "man that was almost a year ago...I should go double check."
Indeed, my key that is, original?, and cut from a dodge blank. ---does not come out in acc position.
The one that is aftermarket/generic blank cut key --does come out in acc position.
So glad I tried it before ordering a part.

with my 01 3.9 ram I had before it had issues with 2 outta the 3 keys the guy gave me when I got the truck, so odd. I don't believe any were the original dodge key though..... I still actually have the 3rd key sitting around my computer desk I forgot to give him way back, oops. Maybe the machine just didn't cut them good. Offhand I remember them either not wanting to turn the truck on, the cylinder would be totally locked up, and/or them also not wanting to come out either.
I will say I'm glad the 2nd gen ram trucks don't have chips in the key, those are really expensive to copy/get another iirc....I can go to any hardware store/walmart and get a $2 copy done of my key. On my 95 ram I do have the original dodge key.
