Continued from here
I put the key in so I could play the cd player while I was working on it and now the darn key is stuck in the ignition. It seems to be in park all the way and I did remove the SIR fuse. I wanted to disconnect the battery but I only have the one key. Any ideas?

Really wanted it locked up, so I popped out the entire key cylinder last night. That was easy, just poke a little screw driver in the square opening on the cylinder, turn the key and pull. Today I figured out what is causing the problem, the shifter interlock cable thingy. I kinda thought it was one of the cables since I messed with them while removing the center console.
Here it is, I popped the clip out and pushed on the spring.
Thanks for making a thread, I am new here and I can't edit my posts yet, otherwise I would have deleted that part...

Fixed the problem. Just pushed in on the spring end until it reached the point of releasing the key. Held it in place and then I re-inserted the plastic clip, which locked the cable into position. Very easy to fix and adjust. It came out of adjustment due to me attempting to remove the cable from the shifter.
