key won't come out of ignition
2001 auto.v40 key won't always go to the off position and come out. If you walk away for awhile and come back most of the time it will turn to off and come out. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
thanks |

Maybe it is the switch on the gear selector getting stuck, the little switch you have to press to get it out of park mode.
Next time it does it see if its stuck in, it happens to mine time to time. I just flick it out manually so to speak Danny |

i had the same problem with my 04 auto and was told to rub a bit of furniture polish on the switch and it will resolve the issue and they were correct.

The trigger on the auto selector knob has got stuck in, either learn to flick it out when you return the lever to Park or give it a good dose of GT85 working the fluid in by depressing the trigger quite a few times after spraying, I have to do this on the V70 and V40 every 6 months or so - Mike
