HHR key won't turn all the way

Unread post by Stevo » Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:30 pm

When I go to turn off my HHR, my key will not come out all the way. I have to press the bypass button in order to finally get it to come out. Is there some way I can fix this by myself?

Also, the lock on my keyless entry pad does not work, which disables me from being able to use my remote starter. Any help on this one as well?

Thanks for any help ya'll can give.

This problem is uauslly caused by a shifter problem. The release solenoid will not allow the key to turn to the off-lock position. The solenoid is part of the shifter and the whole shifter would ned to be replaced. If one button on the remote does not work, it will need to be replaced and programmed to the car.
