Need Your Opinion: Key Stucked In The Ignition

[e2vincent]

Hi Warriors:

I have this strange thing happened to me last night.

'93 LS400.

As I drove home and park my car in the garage. I couldn't take out my Lexus key in the ignition! I tried several things:

- move the transmission stick down 'L' and to 'P' again.

- start the car and turn off again

- drive the car aruond the block and back home, turn it off again.

Finally I disconnect my battery terminal and I can pull the key out. This is interesting.

What is really amazing is that the next morning when I drove to work everything is back to normal again.

Has anyone had such a experience before ??

BR,

V.

my key used to do that on my 91 right after i had the tranny rebuilt i had to play with the gears sometimes it was quick but sometimes it took a while this didnt happen all the time though

My 98ls one day Iput the key in and nothing happened,I tried many things out of pure luck I played withthe steering wheel back and forth and the key worked fine not a problem since then I think the wheel some how was tensioned against the lock?

I recently changed my shift knob.. 91 ls400 and this happend to me .. theres a rod in side the knob that needs to spring back up when u use it .. 99 percent sure this is your problem.
