Default Ignition Issue

The past month or so I noticed when I turn off my van with my key, it will stay as if it's in the on position. Everything turns off initially, then the radio will pop back on. Thinking its the ignition switch, but just a guess.

Any ideas?

You're on the right track. Mine does this also after I replaced the ignition switch. Now I'm thinking the tumbler may be part of the issue. I'm just careful when I turn the ignition off. When I turn the switch off and the door buzzer goes off and the radio is still playing I can turn the switch back just a hair with out the key in and that takes care of it. It's an over travel situation

Tumbler seems to be going out.

Sound like an ignition switch issue.
