I got a wrong key stuck in the ignition..how do I get it to release?

Asked by d_chan Oct 05, 2010 at 11:47 AM about the 1999 Acura RL 3.5 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I think it's actually a Toyota key that's stuck
in the ignition. The key unlocked the doors
on the car and even turned in the ignition
but didn't crank the car I guess for lack of
the chip that's supposed to be in the acura
key. Is there a way to get the key out
without replacing the ignition?

1 Answer

Sorry, but nope. You possibly could get your local locksmith to pull the switch out, and get the key to release. Most of them will come to your home.
