Can anyone tell me what wrong with my car.
Okay well it happen when i got ready to park

and that shutted the engine off and i
disconnected the batteries. Im so lost on
what happen to my car. Can anyone please

It could be a severed wire, or you could need a new ignition assembly in total
Fix your car back up to how it was. Turn the ignition on and slowly back off one click at a time and see what happens. Sometimes turning the key almost off will turn it off. Does that make sense? Some of my cars do that.
Whatever you do do not unplug the battery while the car is running to shut it off. This creates a voltage spike in the system and will give you more interior problems. Good move going for the fuse!!
GuruHZCH4 I have tried what you say to do. And still the problem hasnt change.
