the other day i shoved the shifter hard into park, when i went to turn off my truck the key would not go back to lock the steering wheel and the key is stuck in the ignition and won't come out. also the shifter used to lock in park, when the truck is off, now it won't can anyone help?
there is a release under the stearing column. there is a round plastic cover that you pop off and put a screwdriver up in it to depress the release while turning the key
No, saying that if you SLAM your shifter into Park (or as job worded it "shove it <shifter> hard into park") things are liable to go wrong when they get abused. GM never designed shifters to be "shoved hard into park" if you want a more permanant fix, don't abuse it, thats what I'm saying
well your "fix" in my opinion is not a fix. It is a prevention. He needs a fix. The difference is a prevention takes place before soemthing happens. A Fix happens afterwards.
He has a problem. He does not need to prevent it from happening because it already happened. So if your gonna post something please post it correctly.
I'd like a real answer too instead of a snide reply. My wife's '97 Blazer does the same thing since we bought it and I know we didn't abuse it. Is there a lever or switch or rod or something that can be adjusted? It's got 150k on it so I'm guessing something's worn out?
There's solenoid on the steering column that fails and won't let the key turn to off; Here's a link on how to get to it. It's about a 15 minute job to remove;
what's with my shifter? 97 blazer lt
