2. Started car and went over to Menards acorss the street. Turned car off and went into Meards for 30 minutes.

3. Came out to leave and car would not start. Car stereo was not powering on properly and engine would not turn off.

4. Jumped car and drove him. "Trac Off" light stayed lit and would not shut off after pressing TRAC button.

5. Parked car at home. Shut off car and removd key. Exited car. Headights remained on and battery drained as a result.

6. This morning had car jumped drive around for 1 Hr plus. Parked at local dealership. Shut car off. Key stuck in ignition and car will not turn over or start.

Any ideas? Starter solenoid?
Sounds like the battery took a hit in the process. The key will be stuck in the ignition with a bad battery.

Important to make sure your battery and charging system is good. Check battery connections, cables, and ground too.
