pwonder Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I just swapped most of the interior, including the console on my 92 sc400 and now the key wont turn to the off position unless i take off the negative batt. cable. The weird thing is that after this happened the first time i went the the gas station, put the car in park, and the key came out No Problem... Went back home, the key wouldnt come out. All the plugs are connected near the shifter. What the heck is going on.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grnsc40095 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 pwonder, This occasionally happens to my 95 Sc too. Tap on the stick-shift and the key should dislodge. It just a minor inconvenience from an aging car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwonder Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 its weird, today i took the car out 3 times, the first time the key didnt want to come out, the last 2 times it came out with no problem. Im not sure if wiggling the shifter will make a difference when it was happening to me yesterday i tryed everything but nothing worked except disconecting the negative batt. cable....

grnsc40095 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 pwonder, Just hit upward on the stick-shift, when it happens again don't wiggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwonder Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 ill try it out next time it happens, which will probebly happen tomorrow. Do you think this has something to do with me swapping the interior?? It wasnt happening before i did that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if i am wrong, but i think it has something to do with the park detect switch. if it doesn't detect the shift lever in park, it won't release the key.
