98 Kia Sportage Key Stuck in Ignition
Help! My key is stuck in my ignition in accessory mode and won't come out. I have to put the spare key into the little access panel beside the automatic gear shift to even get it out of park. Once I get into gear I can drive ok but then when it goes back in park it's stuck all over again. This is causing my battery to go dead on a fairly regular basis as the key will only go as far back as accessory mode. I should note that when the battery goes completely dead, the key will come out very easily but once the battery is charged it is stuck all over again. I have tried different keys but it does it with every key I have. Any suggestions? Someone said maybe the solenoid? Is this expensive to fix?

For anyone else who may have this problem, make sure they check the wires first. This ended up being just a loose wire and not the solenoid or a bad ignition. So I hope I can save someone the aggravation that I had trying to figure out what this problem was!

I don't think it's just a problem with the Sportage. My girlfriend has a Rio and the same thing is happening right now.
