I first thought well its a hot day but the longer I held my thumb on the cylinder I had to pull away it got so hot. remember I am stuck in the first position too- I cant get it to turn to ACC

I'm in Orem btw Brandon...
In case there is something electrical causing excess heat, you might want to try taking your battery out overnight to charge it, then attempt to turn your key tomorrow before re-installing the battery. Since the problem happened today, on the HDOY - cooling off overnight might help.
