i would say ignition switch is acting up. Mine did that where it caused the blower and radio to stay on even after the keys where pulled.

Same here!!! Ignition switch is probably melted partially. You might want to change it real quick. I got mine from rockauto.com cheap, and easy to replace.

Droid Incredible 2 on the move!!!

its not hard took me like 20 minutes, and like a forty dollar part from autozone. All you do is pull the cover off the steering column. i think it like 3 screws. Next take out old ingnition switch and disconnect wire harness. Then reverse the steps. I had to replace the one on my 03. It was actually real bad and i ended up having to cut the wire harness and splice in a new one cause it burnt the wires and connector aswell.
