The headlights are on a timer. If you turn them off after the ignition, they should turn off after a minute or so.

I can take my Key out of the ingnition at any time, Running, Acc, Stopped. I also have the Door lock problem. Only drivers door, passenger rear door and rear hatch work. I love these things.

this is how just about any manual trans works. If the clutch is out in neutral the input shaft is spinning inside the trans. Reverse is the only gear not synchronized so it will grind unless you engage a forward synchronized gear first to stop everything from spinning.

Oh and my jeep doesn't make heat either its really starting to **** me off coming into the winter.
