The key is held in position when required, by the key lock solenoid, which is normally controlled and energised via the A/T shift lock control unit, located under the drivers side dash.

The solenoid could be mechanically jammed or electrically energised and held in. The solenoid has no ground connection and is energised via a black/red and a blue/green wire.
