A couple of weeks back during our very hot weather my car just dies while I'm driving.

After figuring out that the fuel pump relay was not clicking and I had no power to the pump I chased everything I could using Brad Anders article.

I had an extra relay board so I swapped it just for fun , hooked everything back -up and nothing.

I tried again a few minutes later and everything worked!

So today I start the car for the first time in weeks.

Immediately when I switch on the key I hear the relay click, everything sounds fine except the pump runs continuously ( not the 1.5 seconds that it should).
I crank the starter it fires up, I turn the key to off , the engine is still running.

I can pull the key completely out and the engine still runs.

I think I need the tumblers & electrical portion but don't know where to buy?

It sounds like the electrical portion of the switch crapped out internally (there's lots of tiny parts inside those little things). I doubt the tumbler section is bad. I have these in stock as well. . .
