Switch won’t return to the on position.

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your Dodge Caliber’s ignition switch won’t return to the "on" position and the engine won’t fully start, it could be a **faulty ignition switch** or **worn-out ignition cylinder**. Over time, the internal components of the switch can wear down, especially if they’ve been exposed to dust, moisture, or heavy keychains. You might try gently wiggling the key to see if it returns to the correct position, but don’t force it, as this could cause further damage. If it’s persistently stuck, you may need a new ignition switch or cylinder replacement.
