What does this mean??   gp (Garrett) Posted on Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:23 pm:    key might be bent a little. get some new ones from the dealer and see how they work.   Danno (Danno) Posted on Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:23 pm:    try pushing the gear selector all the way forward when putting it into park.   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:31 pm:    Make sure gear selector is sitting properly and the thumb button has popped out all the way, or the key won't come out. It's happened to me a couple times. Now when I park, I wiggle the selector to make sure it's sitting properly and not in between gears.   terryrudy Posted on Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:45 pm:    Yeah, mine does this too on my '94 D1 (114k+ miles) I took it into the dealer for another matter (I couldn't get my remote key fob programmed and they said they'd do it for free) but when they tried they noticed my key would get stuck too. I have since got a new key and its not the key. The guy at the dealer said that the ignition switch has worn out and that is what is causing the problem. I guess I got another thing on the list to replace. -terry   Kyle Posted on Monday, January 06, 2003 - 05:56 pm:    Center diff lock out of position will d it too...
