Default heater problems

okay so my heater does work but i have to turn the key back a little bit in order for it to kick on. this is a problem when i need the heat for the defrosters.

Also it is hard to turn it back while the engine is running or it will turn off. It seems the radio works in the same way.

anybody else has this happened with your car and/or do you know how to fix it? Ive checked the fuses they are all good.

Your ignition switch is defective. Replace it. The heater, radio, wipers, etc. have a separate contact in the switch than the ignition itself.

thanks for the quick reply, it was coming down to that i just wanted to make sure i was in the right direction.
Ordered a new switch for 29.99 with a lifetime warranty.
