I know there are already thread about that. I don't have time to fix that. Can I disconnect the battery so I can cover the towel on my key?
It is shown "orange" light on P. I think it will drain the battery if I leave it on?

Pop the cover off on the steering column or by the shifter and use a pen to push the button in. That should release your key.

I have the same problem palsut, get a pen and reach in the same hole and push the button in like they said, unless you got real small fingers you can't get it in the hole.

I have been keeping a tire pressure gauge in the visor. It's the perfect size to poke the button and not miss. Extend, poke, retract, get out.

I already fall asleep after I post the thread lol
Actually, my dad already fixed it after I just post this. I asked him how did you do that? He says pull shift all way to "1" then park it. It was remove easy. I told him I think it will happen again because it has been many same problems on this site.
I will try your advice if it is happen again. Thanks guys.

or you can just replace the siliniod in the colum, or if its the neutral safty switch... a few simple tests with a volt meter can fix it

with the jb weld on it, does the key release at all points of the switch, or only at the off position?
