    Thanks for all the replies. I pulled the covers off of the steering column and noticed that the wires leading to the solenoid that releases the key were really tight. My strain relief probably moved. Anyway, I reseated the connector and everthing started working fine. Several miles of driving revealed no other issues.
    I reworked the strain relief and will drive it a few days with the covers off. If it acts up again, the ignition harness I just replaced is probably flakey.
    Once again, the replies are much appreciated. This forum is awesome !!

    I ended up replacing the ignition harness again which has solved the can't remove key or shift from park issue but now when you turn the key off, if you open the door, the "dinger" is not working. It comes on if you move the ignition switch just a bit to on or access. but won't come on in the off position with the door open.
    Is it possible to get the key cylinder out of position a bit on reinstall to cause this? Could this be another ignition harness issue? Everything else is working fine.
    Thanks again.
