Asked by dtsani May 10, 2015 at 05:17 PM about the 2000 Cadillac DeVille DTS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I can't remove keys from ignition - stuck in 'on' position which runs the battery down.  This is a new battery installed about 3 weeks ago.  If I recharge it is there anything I can do to get the key out?

Thank you. The Plug you speak up is under the ashtray. Tried it - the key won't release.
