Key stuck in ignition

Asked by GuruSQR8J Jun 06, 2019 at 12:40 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer LTZ 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So. My key randomly gets stuck. I get in my
car put my key in to start it up sometimes it
doesnt start (i does one click no power on or
any thing) so ill turn it off give it a second
and turn it back on most the time itll start.
Within the past 2 days.  I do the same thing
inly when i go to turn it of to take the key out
itll get stuck. I can turn it back to start even
though they wont start and then it doesnt
even click any more and theres no power to
my car at all any more..... Sometimes if i just
let it sit even with the key stuck itll start back
up after a bit on its own without needing
jumped. Battery is brand new and just got it
tested, and tested the alternator and that
was go.

Been there went through this......Triple check your battery connections, make sure they nice and tight. If all good, clean the ground down to bare metal on the transmission hump on passenger side. Pull carpet back, it's one screw, this ground carries a lot of stuff.
