I couldn't get the key out of my 95z28 this morning. It was cold and I went and started the car and then took it around campus to the baseball field for practice. Well When I put the car in park and went to turn the keys toward me I wouldn't turn. I thought maybe It not in park so I put it back in drive and then in park again still wouldn't come out. So me being frustrated hit the steering wheel colum and then figured I try one last time to get the key out. It worked. Anyone know whats broken that it won't let my key out?

 

It might just need a little lube. Dry graphite is good for lock assemblies.

 

so you think lube will fix it??????

 

If it because the key cylinder is not turning far enough to the lock position, this might help.

 

yea that sounds more like my problem.

 

On my car I had to drop the column and bend back a tang that holds the other end of the cable to the column. It had popped uot and I couldn't get the key out.
