Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / September 2005Can't get key out of ignition
When I try to shut off my car the key will go from e to f and sticks on c. I am unable to shut off my car or remove the key from the ignition. Have any of you folks experienced this? Car is 95 Olds Achiever. > When I try to shut off my car the key will go from e to f and sticks on c. > I am unable to shut off my car or remove the key from the ignition.

The Mrs. was having trouble getting her key in or back out.....after liberal doses of graphite and oil all largely to no avail.....straitening the "bent" key did wonders....might be worth checking...... Rod happend to my old cutlass surpeme, the key would not even turn off. we spent like 2 hours trying to shut it off with no luck. in the end we drove it to the mechanic and had the whole thing replaced. >> When I try to shut off my car the key will go from e to f and sticks on >> c.

Rod happened to me on my 97. achevia. Under the steering collum there is a small ( about an inchto 1 1/2 " snap on cover. Remove it with screwdriver ( just snaps off) there is an ignition switch release. it took me a min. to find but it is there. push it in at the same time turning the key back to the off position. Hope that works for you. Ronald > When I try to shut off my car the key will go from e to f and sticks on c. > I am unable to shut off my car or remove the key from the ignition.

Hit the end of the key with a pair of pliers a few times. This may break the worn tumblers loose to allow the key to come out. If this works you can get by this way for a while, but you need to replace the ignition key cylinder. Mine cost about $100. Make sure the car is in "Park." |
