Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

help urgent please
i cannot remove the key from the ignition
car in park mode with P light lit
car will start
i did have an error message yesterday saying key not removed although it was
any ideas how i can at least remove key so i can lock it safe as it is kept on the streeet
thanks
its a 996 targa 2002
Hi,
I once had a similar problem where I couldn’t get the key out and it was down to the fact that I hadn't pushed the tiptronic gear lever forward enough into park. You could try this, it may fix it.
Hope you get it sorted.
John
thanks, been trying that but it doesnt help. the car indicates in P mode and auto stick wont go further
i tried wiggling the stick
when car is running the a/c and heating fans dont work for some reason
seems like the key just will not turn enough to let the key out
so drove the car somewhere safe and will try and fix but needs to go to a garage
does anyone know a lock specialist london/west london/windsor area ?
A remote thought but check fuses are all correctly seated. My steering lock fuse not being fully in place caused some issues with ignition and gear lever.
It is highly likely to be the ignition switch itself. They can break up inside, and stop the lock returning to the key release position. It causes all sorts of electrical gremlins. There is a DIY in the Technical Articles section.
Any good Indy will be aware of the problem. Try GT One in Chertsey if you are close by. Or Tognola Engineering in Datchet, RSJ in Slough, or Porsche Torque in Uxbridge.
thanks ive left car safe at a relatives
i could lock it using the spare key but with ignition key in i guess it will go flat
will try the suggestions above many thanks
