The truck starts and drives in all gears and shuts off, but the damn key doesn't come out. I live in the city so this poses a security problem


Help!!

Have you tried wiggling it up and down, side to side? If so, try a small squirt of WD-40 or similar alternative. My wife's car did that once, this method seemed to work. Best of luck.....Jamie

If that won't work. You can gentle pry the bottom of steering column off and there should be a round hole towards the front of it that you can stick an object in to release the key. This link may help a little bit for permanent fix. http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...&highlight=key

Time to take a trip to the dealer, you probably need a new switch. I've had 2 replaced already.

A locksmith will do it cheaper than the dealer.
