93 GT wagon ignition problem

[Dvnt]

The problem is the key is stuck in the ignition and wont come out, its not stuck stuck, its sounds like its reverted back to when the car was an automatic and it wont let me take the key out unless the cars in park etc only of course the cars now a manual......

any ideas??

Well, the inhibitor switch would of been attached to the transmission under the car, maybe try manually operating the wiring and see if you can fake the signal?

The should be an unused loom plug (2 pin) at the Gear Box somewhere. Maybe near top of box, near the shifter housing? Bridge both loom plug terminals and your Ignition/ECU thinks your in Park/Neutral.

The click your hearing could be the accessory relay?

Edit: Maybe the Inhibitor was already bridged (twisted together) and it\'s just come loose?
