I have a 95 Accent man trans no airbag...the ignition switch will not stay in the correct position. Finding the part is next to impossible (car made in canada) and the parts are all for Auto trans or with airbag. Is there a way to bypass it. I just want to ba able to start the car and it keep running. Right now I have to start it get high rpms and the try to get the key to fall back to just the right position and when i hit the bump car will die. From the best I can tell I can not just buy the cylinder but the whole switch, last price quote was $280. I am happy to by pass it.

The air bag system checks itself every time the ignition is turned on. If the light stays on there is a problem with the system. The car needs to be pluged in to a scan tool to see what is wrong. There is a sensor under the radiator that is the most common. But its cheeper to check the codes than just start buying parts. Post the codes and we can help.
The interior light and ignition can not be related. Just coincidence.
The interior light has a 3 position switch, off, on with door switches, and on all the time. So either a door switch is shorted on, or the switch by the lamp is shorted to the always on position.
The ignition is weird but easily diagnosed. First check that the ignition switch itself turns on and off, by using a test light. If that is normal, then take out the ignition control unit and have a place like Autozone test it. It has a relay the ignition switch is supposed to turn on and off, and it could stick on, even after switch is off.
when the airbag light is on it is disabled.
a scan tool can read the codes that are turning the light on,
a common problem is clockspring in the column.
HAVE YOU REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH? IT IS LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER, THEY COME APART AND CAUSE THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS, HERE IS A PICTURE AND PART NUMBER.
Take it into a Hyundai Dealership and have the SRSCM scanned for the specific trouble codes. They will tell you EXACTLY where the problem is and what's needed to fix it. NOW, having written that, if you want to try 'CLEARING' the airbag light to see if it comes back 'ON', disconnect the battery cables (+) and (-) from the battery and touch them together for 10 seconds (this is with the ignition key in the 'RUN' position). Reconnect the cables to the battery to see if the Airbag light comes back on or stays on. If it does, then have it diagnosed by a qualified technician.
The "SPRING-BACK" Action is Originated in the Ignition Switch itself (THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH) I think that is where you should Look.
On these models, the ignition lock and ignition switch are removed as an assembly. Refer to IGNITION LOCK . Disable airbag, refer to Air Bags and Seat Belts/Air Bags (Supplemental Restraint Systems)/Service and Repair . After procedure has been completed, rearm airbag system.
On these models, the ignition lock and ignition switch are removed as an assembly.
With key inserted and switch in Lock position, use a small screwdriver to depress ignition lock retaining pin flush with lock cylinder surface.
Rotate key clockwise to Off position. Ignition lock should now be unseated from ignition switch assembly. Do not attempt to remove ignition lock at this time.
With ignition lock in unseated position (lock bezel approximately 1/8 inch above halo light ring), rotate key counterclockwise to Lock position, then remove key.
On column shift models, shift lever must be in P position and park lock dowel pin on ignition switch assembly must engage with column park lock slider linkage.
On all models, verify ignition switch is in Lock position (flag parallel with ignition switch terminals).
Apply a dab of suitable grease to flag and pin, then position park lock link and slider to mid-travel.
Position ignition switch against lock housing face. Ensure pin is inserted into park link contour slot.
Install ignition switch retaining screws and torque to 12-22 lb-in .
With ignition lock and switch in Lock position, insert ignition lock into ignition switch until it bottoms.
Insert key, then while carefully pushing ignition lock toward ignition switch, turn key clockwise to Run position.
Check for proper operation on ignition switch in all positions.

hiya if the rear lights are remaining on ? with no ignition it will be the brake lights staying on this is easily remendied/ checked by trypulling the brake pedal up by hand and see if lights go off ? if so then you will need to adjust the b/light switch which is positioned adjacent to pedal and can be screwed inwards towards the pedal untill the plunger on switch is pushed into the switch which puts lights off ensure pedal is fully up then adjust switch reconnect the wire/plug and press pedal slightly to ensure b/lights operate ok and then go off with pedal released ? on hyundai the brakelights do not req ignition on to operate hence more likely problem is as above good luck
