Ignition key wont come out. Auto

Postby liamg » Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:29 am

Auto Bighorn 93
My ignition key will not turn to the lock position. I believe it is something to do with the safety switches etc that are part of the auto gear shift.
Any suggestions as to were I start ? Cheers, Liam

Vehicle: 92 Bighorn, just died and old Trooper. Now got 99 auto Bighorn but will be selling soon as I dont like auto's. Just got an older 95 Bighorn manual but think it will need some time and money spent, already got a leak in exhaust manifold. It never ends.

Thanks
Tried all positions and wacking it into park, twisting steering both ways etc. Key will not turn to lock position to pull it out

I think there might be a cable from the gear stick to the key it might have broke

I think its electrical and probably related to the inhibitor switch. Auto sparky might be able to hotwire the switch although that would mean you could start in gear and advise on a replacement inhibitor switch. This is a job for the experts
