So i was driving and suddenly a beeping started exactly like the warning beeps of the headlights being on without the car being started. The car's power steering and brakes gradually shut off. once the car was off the road the key would not budge to turn. when i finally did get the key turned the car turns over and fires but as soon as the key is released, it stalls. I know there is gas in the car. Any ideas? personally i am beginning to suspect something is not sending fuel to the engine- fuel pump, possibly?
If your Ignition switch is hard to turn ...... Believe it or not, check the transmission assembly for debris... I had a small piece of wire caught up and when I threw the shifter to 'PARK' it wasn't going far enough to release the ignition key!
Fuel pump relay
Could be a Bad ignition switch...if its hard to turn, you should not have to force it...something may have broken inside the switch, causing the warning sound you heard,and vehicle to stall as if turned off, a heavy key ring will often cause failure of the ignition switch...if this is not the case, turn on key without starting engine, and listen very closely for a low pitch humming sound, if you hear a humming for a second or two, your fuel pump is running..and would look at possible other failure.
