Default Key issue

Hey everybody,

how does the key ignition work with the blazers. I have no problem starting or anything but for the past month or so when I go to remove the key it won't turn all the way back and stops in the on position for a couple minutes then I can tub the key the rest of the way and remove it. Anyone had this happen to them and/or know a fix?

Thanks

Sounds like a problem with the lock cylinder and/or the shift linkage sticking. What happens if you wiggle the shift lever around while trying to remove the key?

Ya tried wiggling the shift lever doesn't work. Its just the key being gay waiting a couple minutes or sometimes it works just fine. Sucks

Is or has your security light on the dash been on recently?

No, I've never had the security light ever come on actually. I think I need to replace the cluster though cause i have never had a 4wd light, washer fluid, a couple others had never come on... And my odomerter went out recently too haha. Would the security hold the key in for some reason?

If a security light is on there is a good chance the ignition switch is failing. That could be tied in with the key issue. THe light itself wouldnt hold the key in, but a bad swtich might. I'd go ahead and replace the cluster so you know if your truck is trying to tell you something (but you can't see it due to a bad cluster.)
