My key is stuck in the ignition switch

Glad you got the main problem fixed!

Yeah, like Humm3 said, on the stalk, there is a little slider on the end. If you slide that in one notch, you will make the cruise active. Then to set the speed, press in the center end of the stalk (it's a round button almost as round as the stalk, you'll feel it). Then when cruising, if you press that button again, you'll drop 1MPH, and if you use the slider, and push it all the way in, it will rebound. This with either increase speed by 1MPH or "resume" your cruising speed if you have to brake for some reason, and need to come back up to speed.

Never thought about the conversion. What has to be done? You should get your money back.

I have the adventure package. It has the cruise on the turn signal knob. I drove a basic as a loaner and I'm pretty sure it had cruise too.

Glad to hear your babies fixed.

Mountainbiker, did you ever find your cruise control?

I did actually. It is a different set up than my Explorer. The Explorer has everything on the steering wheel (horn area), and the H3 has it all tucked into the multi-function left "stalk". Unfortunately, since having made the epic trip to/from the dealer, I have it parked on the base. I am not legally allowed to drive it until it is registered (or at least applied for registration). There are some issues with taxes that I must get sorted out before this can occur. LOL- it has been an interesting "ridw" getting this thing to the point where I can just drive it. Also, prior to the light conversion problem, I had wanted to get a remote start and alarm system like the Viper system in my Explorer; however, I am now afraid to have someone touch the electrical system and screw it up again. Even adding the HitchCam (once the spares are rec'd) seems almost evasive.

"Interesting ride" is an understatement, mountainbiker. I hope it all comes together for you soon. You'll have a lot of driving to do to make up for lost time. Keep us updated here.

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN - my key is stuck again! It has been working fine...until...

It is after midnight here. I just picked up my wife at the airport a little while ago. On the way back from the airport, I switched on my SMA roof lights ... nothing. When I got hope I checked the fuse for the lights, and it had a blown 10A fuse. (This fuse is not in the fuse box. It is an external run and connects right next to the mega fuse.) Not thinking I popped in another one, and it immediately blew. I didn't have any more, so I said I'd just mess with it in the morning. This is when I also noticed the key would no longer come out of the ignition.

Now, thinking about it. I could have sworn there use to be a was a 125A fuse, but I think the HUMMER dealer put a 10A fuse in there after my recent visit to them. It didn't dawn on me at the time, but I do recall them saying they swapped a 125A fuse because it was too large. I think maybe it wasn't?

What fuse are you using for your roof lights? I bet it is more than 10A?

I am thinking my key is stuck again, because I blew something when I put in that 10A fuse. The sun roof and wipers don't operate. I have checked ALL the mini fuses, and they appear okay, but I have to be missing something. Do you have any ideas what I could check to try to get the key out?

OMG, I can't believe this is happening to you again, mountainbiker. I don't have an answer. Your thoughts about the fuse being too small makes sense. I hope one of the tech guys look in soon for your sake. Or, even anyone with marker lights so they can check their fuse. I don't have marker lights .. yet. Otherwise, your wife may have to go on a scenic drive with you back to the dealer. At least you could use your cruise control this time. I really feel badly for you. You must be feeling livid just about now.
