[V8] "93 V8 with key stuck in ignition sw

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Richard,

Hopefully the 'key' issue is a simple one like on my '93. When you put the shifter in Park, make sure you lift a little on the knob. If it sticks and doesn't go up, then the solenoid won't release from the ignition and you won't be able to remove the key. I hope that's all that's wrong with your ignition lock problem. Good luck.
