    Key was stuck in acc position on my 03.
    Tried a lot of things suggested.
    Bought new Ignition cylinder-installed easy and new key also gets stuck in acc position.
    If I disconnect battery, key comes out.
    Turning wheel, adjusting wheel lock, playing with shifter, tapping key: none of these work?
    All fuses seem solid and wires too.
    Anyone have another suggestion?
    Thank you, Bob

    Welcome to TW! Sounds like it could be the steering wheel lock holding things in.

    I had this problem before. Ended up being a worn out key. Once I used my fresh spare, I didnt have the problem anymore. I dont think this in your case though.

    Im curious to see what the issue is in case this happens to me.
