Thanks for those [details](/topics-detail/). The concern is likely a faulty ignition switch. Is this a GMC Yukon Denali?

It is.We got itNever mind
Automotive Expert
Thanks for those details. If you remove the ignition switch fuse that will kill the engine. Then you will need to disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent the battery from dying overnight. If you plan to diagnose and repair in the morning, I can help with that as well if needed. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose - -

I'd like to diagnose it with you in the morning please. Do I just text you here?
Automotive Expert
Sure, just respond later when you are ready.

Cool! Thank you!
