• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My key was stuck in the ignition. I removed the solenoid as seen in another forum. It appears where the top of the solenoid went into the lock mechanism there is a pin in there that is sliding around and occasionally still causing the key to not return to the lock position. if I jiggle the key or take the pin from the old solenoid and push it into the hole I can then get the key out. How do I get the pin out of the housing? Thanks Dave

That solenoid most likely isn't working due to the signal from the shift lockout in the shifter I would look there that's usually the cause in the shifter
 
Ditto that. My 1998 had a broken wire in the shifter harness inside the console. As a result the key wouldn't release without pulling the plug out of the bottom of the column and manually releasing it. I fixed the wire and problem solved.
