Can't Get Key Out Of Ignition Camaro
Give the wheel a wiggle while lightly trying to turn the key out of the ignition.
Can't get key out of ignition camaro. This is a 2005 New Jetta. A s Jonesy mentioned you have probably turned the lower hub on the column into the reverse position which prevents the lock cylinder from cancelling. Ok heres whats happening1980 Camaro T-350 auto trans When I put the car in park it will still roll and I cannot turn the ignition back to remove the key.
Average repair cost is 350 at 28850 miles. The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro has 12 problems reported for key getting stuck in ignition switch. If this does not work rock the steering wheel as you jiggle the key in the ignition.
I suggest to wiggle the steering wheel a bit and see if the key gets released out. Taking the time to make sure that all of these components are in the right place and behaving in the right way will help you get your key out of the ignition when the car key wont come out. WTF I cant have this once the Camaro is in storage.
Disconnect the harness connector and connect a matching resistor with the correct ohms of your key inline with the purple and white wires without cutting the connectors off because you may latter need them. Discussion in. Its a simple fix done this for a few friends already you need a heavy duty battery charger and charge the battery up from the posts under the hood after you get an adequate charge you will be able to turn the car on then the key will work normal again.
This is a very common situation when you park on hills park with the wheels turned all the way in one direction or if the wheels were turned with the vehicle not moving before the ignition was shut off. To fix this grab hold of the column on the on the lower section of the colum right near where it meets the dash and turn this section counter clockwise till it stops. But my Cobalt had a cover on the bottom of the steering column surround where you could reach in and slide the key release over to pull the key out.
What i did does not FIX the problem but it does disable the key lock safety fixture and ensuring your key will not be stuck in accessory from here on out. Key will not start the car but will also not be removed. This morning nothing I screwed with the shifter the wheel the tab no turn.
