2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
2.4, manual trans
About 70,000 miles

I got in my car the other day and the airbag light came on, the windows don't work, and the heat fan won't blow (bad for defrosting in the Wisconsin winter!). I read an article here that made it sound like the ignition switch needs to be replaced. I had my buddy replace it, but it didn't do the trick. Any other ideas? I should probably also note that sometimes when I start the car, the key doesn't bounce back where is us supposed to, and I need to turn it back a bit to get the radio and other electronics to work.

If you believe this could be an ignition problem, please also let me know if it would force me to get new keys. I hear that's expensive.

Thanks in advance!

Bill from Milwaukee

The problem seems to be with the key not returning which could be the lock itself or rod(s) to the switch. If air bag light stays on there could be trouble in there. You may want to seek help with pulling the wheel off as the wrong move could give you a nasty surprise with the air bag!

Okay, thanks for the advice! I think I may suck it up and bring it to a mechanic.
