electrical portion of the switch would be the primary suspect. Next time it happents, just remove the steering column cover and disconnect the connector to ignition switch and see if that helps. If it does, then all you need is the electrical portion of ignition switch (common problem).

yes the headlights work when i took the key out of the ignition the turn off but the ones on the dash board stay on even the light from the economy or sport mode.. i will try disconeecting the cable for the ignition and see if that is the problem.. i don't think its the box on the passenger side of the engiine is intact the only thing that i change was the bumper, hood, the big bumper that grab the headlights..
