I have a 98 pontiac grand am that when i turn off the engine the low beams will come back on or stay on as well as if the ac/heater is on it will continue to blow in order to get everything to go off i have to keep turning the key and hoping that it will turn off and most the time will come back on and the car will die. any ideas of what i can do? Thanks

common for ignition switch failures. have the switch checked for shorting.
otherwise, it may have a failed bcm module. this can be checked by a shop with a scan tool.

I have been trying to get through to people that it probably is the ignition switch but they took the steering wheel column off and pulled a wire and that turned the lights off and on so they think that it has to do with an electrical problem would that be a part of the ignition switch in that case?

not necessarily. you need a good electrical shop. do not try and tell them there job. let them find the failure and tell you the failure.
