Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 My 98 escort does the same thing from time to time, and when I took it to the auto shop the first time, they showed me a trick so I diddnt have to buy a whole new lock core and shebang. Anyway- tap on the key with a rubber mallet while turning it backwards- that should allow it to come out. Let me know how it goes I hate long signatures.... ...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head...

kraz1021 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 it could be a couple of things IMO.the ignition lock cylinder could be going bad,or it could the shifters park switch that engages and releases the key.id try putting a little dry graphite in the ingition lock cylinder and see if that helps.i have a question,does the cylinder move otherwise when you turn the key or is it just stuck in the off position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
