Re: FIX for Key stuck in the ignition
The electrical connector in the console under the shift lever loosens or gets dirty or corrodes. One consequence is an ignition key that gets stuck in the accessory position and will not come out, then will after wait time. The connector is accessed under a trim cover (see attachments). I did not try to remove and reseat it. It takes a tool I do not have. I did spray it with electronic contact cleaner, tapped it lightly and pushed as hard as I could with my finger. Seems to have worked for the last six weeks, much beyond the frequency with which the original problem occurred.
