gardnerkelly1 is on a distinguished road
Car keeps running with no key

Hello,

Hoping for some help with this, I can't find too much on the internet and all the local shops are closed today. My 95 740 kept running after the key was removed. My husband drove my car 1 day and broke it! Big believer in DIY and would like to see if this is fixable without having to take it to the garage. I appreciate any & all feedback!

thanks,

Kelly

The key/starter switch must be awfully loose. Likely needs replacing.
