Default Re: Canlt Get Key Out!!

This can be caused by your battery starting to go south. Accordimng to my mechanic, my 2006 H2 has a starter which he described as having planatery gearing. He said it will actually start the H2 with as little as 10 volts. The key release is voltage controlled and the drop from a battery starting to fail will cause the problem.

I replaced battery with an Optima Yellow top. A couple of days later the Optima failed with the same symptoms. That's when I took it in, thought it was the charging system. Turned out to be the new Optima, rteplaced it, has worked fine after that.
