Key won't remove when in PARK ... suggestions?
I fixed the sticky key problem last June, and have had no problems till now. When parking the car and putting the shift into "PARK", and turning the ignition off, the key won't come out. the car can be restarted and everything seems normal, till shutting down and placing in PARK. Key won't come out!
When stopping to park the car, I can shift to NEUTRAL, remove the key, and then shift into "PARK", Thru searching, I found reference to a cable from the ignition switch that may be the culprit, and may need adjustment(?). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about this? |

Howard,
Turn the steering wheel slightly just before attempting to turning the key for removal. Edit....... Oh just noticed that the key removes in neutral ? |

Howard, it seems there is an ignition cable lock that is connected to the shitfer lever assembly. Look on page 19-21, and read line 3 in the service manual. The cable may have broke or come loose.
