So I'm in the middle of my motor swap and my key is stuck. I don't Have the original engine and trans anymore so is there some sort of safety feature not as allowing me to remove the key? There isno battery in the car either. Car is an auto and shifter is in park despite not being hooked to the trans. Any clues here are is it just a coincidence that the key cylinder failed. Thanks

Grab some wires under the dash and wiggle them.

im prettys sure all the new edge cars have key release switches, nevermind looks like just the manuals that do
you would probably have to bypass it at the steering wheel. or you might beable to lock the cable in place to where its not engaged. but im not sure how these cars r set up. i ran into the same problem on a sebring and the linkage holding that cable was broken and i had to push the cable to release the key.

bang on the key. like forcing it into the ignition. sometimes the lock cylinders get stuck and you have to knock them loose. it happened in my dodge about once a week. i banged on it a few times and it would come out
