#1 of 5 Saturn Ignition Key Problem by bikerider5 May 02, 2009 (12:40 pm)
I just pulled into my driveway, put my 2007 Outlook with 20M miles in park,, and the key will not go to the off position- it is stuck in the ACC position, leaving the dash lights on and the key in the ignition. I called Onstar, they connected me to Saturn and no one can figure out the problem. My right turn signal is "fast" flashing now, leading me to believe there is some electrical anomaly, but nobody can figure it out. The car still runs fine - but I can't safely park it. Made triple sure it was in park - but no luck on moving the key - I'm afraid to force it and bust the key off in the ignition. My Saturn dealer is closed today and I can't figure out where the battery connections are to keep the battery from croaking. Would love some help from anybody!

Replying to: bikerider5 (May 02, 2009 12:40 pm) My right turn signal is "fast" flashing now, leading me to believe there is some electrical anomaly...   That would be due to a weak battery or a defective capacitor in the flashing circuitry.   I take it you have already tried pulling the key while nudging the steering wheel left and right?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: bikerider5 (May 03, 2009 9:51 am) tidester (May 03, 2009 10:20 am) svish (Aug 11, 2009 10:25 am)

Replying to: tidester (May 02, 2009 8:07 pm) Thanks for the idea - the wheel freely moves a both ways - no wheel lock engaged when I am trying to move the wheel- and no give in the key either. Replies to this message: tidester (May 03, 2009 10:20 am) svish (Aug 11, 2009 10:25 am)
