My key won't turn into the lock position

Asked by Abrazen20 Apr 24, 2020 at 12:11 AM about the 2005 Hyundai Sonata GL FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My key won't turn into the lock position so it's stuck on
accessory, and start. I can turn it to start the car and
everything but won't go into lock position for me to pull it
out i tried most common things. Any idea how to fix this?
I'm pretty good with car work but this has me stumped

Check your gear shift. It may not be going all the way in park so the key won’t release. There is a mechanism that tells the car when it’s in park. If it is not all the way in park there is no signal and the key stays.
