Default Ignition issue

I have a 1982 C3 that has been having starting problems. I posted this earlier and received some good suggestions.

Recently, when I turned off the car, the "key" alarm stayed on. I couldn't get it to turn off so I disconnected the battery. A few weeks later, I was going to drive it so I hooked up the battery. The alarm came on again and wouldn't turn off. I tried spraying WD 40 in it, wiggled the key, and tried turning the key. Nothing stopped the sound. Any ideas about what might be causing this issue?
