Key stuck in ignition what to do?

[raverockstar]

So today I turned off car. And key didn't go all the way off and I couldn't pull it out. I googled it and found there's a button under that can release it. So I did it and it works. But now I need to stick stuff there all the time.
How can I repair this?

Once you start sticking stuff up your button, you're screwed.

LUL!











How to fix it:

If you take the bottom cover off of the steering column you can get to it rather easy and remove the solenoid.

1) tilt wheel all the way up and remove tilt wheel lever.... just pull, it comes out rather easy

2) take out screws in bottom steering column cover.... torx bit

3) pull off cover. you will have to tilt it a little to clear the rear clips.

4) remove screw(s) holding in solenoid.... very small nut driver or pliers will do the trick.

5) unplug wires to solenoid and discard solenoid into nearest trash can and save money for beer after job is complete

6) reverse order to reassemble column

7) use money saved from step 5 and go have a few beers

Well. This is what I did. I stated the steps. Then after breaking it I couldn't find the other screw.
So I just taped the button to be pressed all the time. This one is working perfectly.
I wonder what's the use of it in the normal.
