    And you think running the radio on your Monte one click back didn't run the battery? Its the EXACT same thing. Accessory is one click forward on these cars. Older cars is one click back.

    Its not the exact same thing. One click back and i get just radio and windows. one click forward i get like 10 dash lights, an active pcm (that i can pull codes from) and a primed fuel pump. one click forward uses more battery then one click back

    moving on, since you said you were able to do it at least once before, i'd guess the switch is the issue. it should require minimal effort with no extra step (like pressing the brake pedal) to turn the key backwards. Unless you're wheel is pressed right up agaisnt the steering wheel lock; then you might try turning it the opposite way just a tad then turning the key backwards..

    In the case of my 07 it is the exact same thing, I can go take a video to show you one click forward will give me just radio.

    I figured it was different because one click back never caused ^this to happen.
    I guess I should have mentioned the year though. I have a 99.' And I'm assuming the switch is the issue because the brake thing doesn't work anymore. (It just worked that one time,) I've tried pushing the key in, still doesn't work. Turning it forward then back with no luck. So I'll just have to get it looked at because it seems to work when it wants to.
