The ignition will not turn back. It is locked in place. I have to pull the wire off the distributor & the battery cable to kill it. This happens when my brake light on the instrument panel comes on. Also, the heater, ws wipers & radio will not come on. My brake pedal stays down constantly, I have to physically pull up on it each & every time (the law has stopped me for this). My brakes make a horrible grinding sound at times. I have found similar complaints with all linking ABS system failure.
