Sounds like the wire broke off the shifter harness. Just take off the shifter then pop off the up/cover and there will be a white connector at the base of the shifter with many wires connected to it. In my case the red wire was brittle and kept snapping off. I just cut the bad wire off a spliced a heavier and more flexible gauge wire in its place. To get your key out in the mean time pop open the plastic cover around the ignition and push in the metal solenoid plunger location directly under the lock cylinder while you turn the key back.

Hope this helps

okasy. hers the update. I dont have any loose wires on the shifter. The only way to get the key out of the ignition is the solenoid release. Any other ideas why this is happening?

Do a quick check of your fuses. Sometimes a blown fuse can have an effect of other accessories. Hope this helps.

I had this happen to mine . . . my plastic shifter kept coming lose and sliding down and scratching the bezel so I took it off moved it up and tightened the screw all the way down but then the key wouldn't come out because there is some sensor that wasn't getting depressed.. Make sure your shifter cover is all the way down on the "black pole like thing" inside your shifter with the screw lining up perfectly, and then tighten the screw all the way in the hole.

you also may want to try and turn the key forward and move the shifter to D then back to P making sure it's all the way in P.. I have had that happen a few times before and it worked...

Everything lines up perfectly..... I feel like a thief!! Everytime I park, I have to pull out a flat head screwdriver and stick it in the plastic and hit the solenoid!! Talk about ghetto.... lol

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.

Hey...does anyone know the wiring order in the connector for the shift lock mechanism. When I went in to check for a broken wire there was one and when I pulled the connector out I pulled some other wires out. Now I dont know what order they go in. The connector has labels on each slot ....A, B, C, D, E and F. I have 5 wires... Red, Yellow, Black, Green/Blk, and Green/Wht

Can anyone help?
