If you can,t wiggle the steering wheel and get it out,you may have to replace the igintion switch.
The tumblers are bad, smack the key with your hand and usually frees them up. But will happen again, and ignition lock cylinder will have to be replaced.
Azteks are known for the ignition sensor going out. This sensor tells the car that its in park. If it doesn't get the signal, it won't let you turn the key all the way back and release the key. You can over ride this. Beneath the ignition under the steering column is a rubber button / cap. Pop it off. Push a small diametered dowel or anything else which fits into the hole. You will feel it push a button inside the steering column. While you have the button pressed, turn and remove the key.
WHERE IS IGNITION SENSOR ON THE 2005 PONTIAC AZTEK
That is not an ignition sensor it is the neutral safety switch.
I have a 2005 Pontiac Aztec that 90% of the time after I go to put it in park, I can’t remove the key from the ignition. I have to go in reverse then pull back forward and put in park again then try to remove the key. I’ve tried to replace the lock cylinder but that did not fix it. I don’t think it’s recognizing I’m in park but I am. Do you think it may be the neutral/safety switch.?
