Heidi, I'd bet you're more likely to get a better response over in the 300RX forum over here than you will in the LS430 forum. Good luck...

yeah wrong forum but I bet your ignition switch is bad. I've had that issue in a VW before. Part of the ignition switch broke and when I pulled the key out it stayed energized. There is usually a plastic electrical component on the back of the key cylinder where the ignition wires go in and out of. When you turn the key it connects and disconnects the contacts for the ignition, starter, etc

Does anything else stay on that's supposed to turn off when you remove the key (eg cigarette lighter socket)?
