Hello, Just bought 98 red vert as a project with grandson. Numerous problems but the worst is with the battery at full charge shifter in park the key will not move to lock position for removal. If you disconnect the battery the switch will easily turn and the key can be removed. I have read many locksmith remedies and have tried ones that apply. It has a boomerang looking TDS fob. Ideas, help? Thanks.

i dont have auto, but im pretty sure that when you put the car in park position it deactivates the solenoid that holds the key in ignition. Same thing happens when you cut power, ill have to read the electrical diagram to be sure.
