My key wont come out of the ignition

Post by Leftd90 »

So i did the center console swap and had to unplug all the electical switches from the harness. I swapped out the consoles and hooked everything back up, Every component is the original except for the console shell. Now how come my key wont turn to the off position and come out? Ive tryed everything i can think of...

The only thing I can think of is something isn't engaging/unengaging all the way when you put it in park. The key won't come out if park isn't fully engaged.... Maybe something is binding the button on the shifter, or something isn't quite snapped in right on the shift assembly?

I figured it out, theres a cable that goes to the shifter assembly that needed to be tighter. Its hard to explain but the cable was to loose to acknowledge the brake and release my key.
