Key Locked In Ignition 06 Volvo S40 2.4

Post by VolvoS402006 »

Need Guidance
OK, I have read and read the info on here but I am still at a loss.
Recently I changed my old Walmart EverStart Maxx car battery with a new Walmart EverStart Maxx.
I started the car, but when I went to shut it off the key will not release from the ignition switch.
Most of the reading here said check fuses, relays, and charging amps which I did and all were good
So if i was not a fuse or relay the next step is to replace he ignition switch.
I replaced the ignition switch with the exact OEM one from the dealer here.
I have checked every fuse again and all are good, relays appear to be good also.
I can start the car and drive the car as usual but the key will still not disengage from the switch.
Alternator is charging as normal at 12 amps.
No codes or error messages are displayed.
Any ideas of possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joel

Pull and hold the interlock cable with one hand and try taking the key out with the other hand.
