Ignition Problems
Hi new to the forums... Need some help.
I have a 97 ES300,
Im having problems with the starter/ ignition switch.
When i start my car the starter stay on the fly wheel, and makes a terrible noise that of a dieing rodent.
When i turn the ignition off, take the key out, the starter is still turning my motor over like its trying to start it. WTF? I have to disconnect my battery for it to stop.
I was wondering if anybody else has had this happen or know what i should do?
Thanks!

Welcome to CL. Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need a new starter. You need to get it fix asap, because if the starter gear stays engaged for so long it will ruein the flywheel.
