Key sticking in ignition

Post by TexasBlaZeR2 »

When I put it in park the key sticks in the ignition until I turn the truck on again, back up, turn steering wheel, etc...then it releases. People must think I am crazy watching me do this over and over...The dealer previously replaced the ignition piece the key goes into and put on a new shift handle.

I did a search but couldn't seem to find anything on the site about this. I know that GM has had ignition issues for years. Tranny and guages are working fine though. Is there a bulletin on this one? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Thanks,

Tom

Has it done this since the dealership replaced the ignition switch? The only time my late model S10's have done this is when the battery dies. It sounds like they didn't properly install the switch or you got a bad one.
