3pt1lumina Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Or try moving the gear selector in park while moving the keys. Sometimes that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Unless the key lock went bad. Happened on mine some time ago... Might need a new key lock cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 If a pinch, you can try some graphite lubricant. Spray it into the cylinder, and work the key in and out, and try turning it too. It's a temporary fix, but enough to get you home so you can fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 i tried to get my key out with the car not in park...it wouldnt come out. then my friend was so nice to point out my stupidity. I hope this isnt what your problem is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 You drove 600k in a few days?! DAMN!? The only thing I have to say about the graphite is I would be very leary about putting it into a 94-96 PassKey II cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 600km = 350miles roughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sure as hell safer than spraying some form of liquid lubricant into the cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
