Hi Tara
This could be a couple of things. The ignition switch on top of the steering coloumn
or the tumbler, where the key goes. Either one of these fail and you could have this prob. Hope this helps billymac

Already replaced the key and tumber, where exactly is the ignition switch? There is nothing on top of the steering column, could it be somewhere else?

Hi tara. If you unbolt the steering coloumn and let it lay down on the seat you will see a elec plug there plugged into a part that is bolted to the top of the steering coloumn. This is the electrical part of your ignition. Kind of confuseing but their are two parts that control this funtion. If you cannot find it write back and we will dig a little further. Ty billymac
