I have a 97 S 10 4x4. I have seen my problem posted before, but never saw a definitive answer. A few times a week, totally randomly, the key will turn only to the off position, but not to lock. Needless to say I can't get it out when that happens. Sometimes it will come out after sitting for a few minutes and sometimes it takes several hours to "release". It almost seems as if it is something electrical. The key operates very smoothly and the steering wheel is tight with no sloppy play or anything. Any thoughts anyone?? I've tried all the standard giggling, restarting, pushing on the gearshifter, etc. etc. etc....
