solutions that have been tried are
1. installed 2 new lock cylinder with key. cheap one universail from the auto store no improvement, then the next one bought from the dealer... no improvement really. key comes out now with some wiggle wiggle.
2. installed new ignaiton switch... no improvement. new switch made it even harder to remove the key the wiggle wiggle is now barely working.
does anyone AND I MEAN ANYONE know WHY my key will not turn into the off postion,aka not allowing me to remove the key from the lock cylinder. it will turn the car off and start the car, but i can not get the key out or turn back into the acc location. i mean whats left to look into. the steering column actuator? not sure why i can not find info on this problem  |
Last but not least before I leave this subject. if it is auto your Neutral safety switch is located on the shifter mech in the console...If the ac vents overtime have turned the brass into green mold or copper. It will only give you partial connect or none. Remove Very carefully the console as that year has issues with plastic parts. Once it off you should see a switch towards the front of the shifter. Do not attempt this while the car is on as you may short the system. Depending on your type of trans you may have your switches should be X2 for overdrive etc. If your young and stupid you may have had issues with spilled drinks over the console and caused this issue. If you see visible damage to electronic within the console STOP! UNPLUG Battery!!! then proceed. PS: there are a mess of Youtube vids on this very subject. Like the other post said: "If its manual can help buy looking for the safety switch in the rubber boot on top the trans from under neath and the same goes for other model auto's
