My key was stuck in the ignition. I removed the solenoid as seen in another forum. It appears where the top of the solenoid went into the lock mechanism there is a pin in there that is sliding around and occasionally still causing the key to not return to the lock position. if I jiggle the key or take the pin from the old solenoid and push it into the hole I can then get the key out. How do I get the pin out of the housing? Thanks Dave
