Default HELP! Ignition switch prob ...

Suddenly my ignition switch will not turn off ... from the Green ACC light to the Red OFF light? Both lights are on and the red light flashes (see pic).

I'm in the middle of a 2-week total interior tear-out, sound deadening and stereo install. The gauge cluster and surrounds are pulled, but I left the ignition switch plugged in so as to turn on the accessory switch when needed for the power top ('09 vert). All other switches are unplugged, ALL bezels, interior pieces, panels and pieces removed. I was using the Window Valet to raise and lower the windows. For the past week this worked fine, but now I get the double ignition light, and it will not go to red (or off)? It will switch to just the ACC Green light though.

Easy to do.

I would've suggested disconnecting the battery, resetting the ECM.
Glad it's worked-out.
