The key doesn’t come out when I’m driving the car. I’m having trouble getting it out after I drive it. sometimes it won’t come all the way back to the “off” position, therefore I’m not able to remove the key. If I wiggle the key while turning th

It does sound like a switch issue, not sure where it’s located, it might be farther down on the column and easier to access than you think, I don’t know for sure though.

Sorry for the late reply, I was having issues with my username.

I did end up replacing the power window switch with a “OEM replacement” switch that I bought off ebay. I will say that it is much heavier and seems to be of better quality than the one that was in the car.

However I do not believe that anything was wrong with the switch (which wasn’t original to the car, I replaced it with a used unit from a bone yard a year ago) I received the part in the mail and threw it in the car quickly before going to work. It still wasn’t working correctly so I figured the part I bought was bad, I ordered ANOTHER new one from NAPA, even that one didn’t work correctly so I sent it back, got to looking at the connector on the wiring for the window switch (that is inside the door) and saw all this green corrosion, I replaced the wiring and the connector, and the OEM replacement part is working perfectly now.

As far as the key switch release issue: I think the neutral safety switch in the shiftier mechanism is either out of adjustment or worn, I have learned to take the car out of park and put it back in park a little more harshly and it works fine.

thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. As for the corrosion issue that is common and I’m glad you were able to correct it. In my other post I had mentioned about the PRNDL switch being out of adjustment or bad. You might consider checking to see if you can adjust it or replace it. Keep us posted.
