    if your not to concerned about having it be original, what i did when mine went out was if you pull the trim off the sterring column, you will see a little plunger sticking down on the ignition cylinder when the car isnt in park. I fed a couple small zip ties up and around and got them to hold the plunger in all the time. Never had a problem with key not coing out again, however the key will come out when the gear lever is in any position. hope this helps you

    2002 gp se-Only problem is that soon our daughter will be driving this car. Worried she will leave the car in drive and it will roll away one day. Does anyone have the igntion lock solenoid part number?
    Also looking for a wiper control module part no as the intermittant function has failed.
