Key

I have a 75 Corvette and can't remove the ignition key - ?

Hi hopefully it's just the small lever just below the key you have to push down to release the key.

Thanks - but button that says LOCK doesn't seem to move in any direction

Is there no switch just below where the key goes in

 

[sivette]

Just a button which operates hazard warning lights

This is on my 82

Is the car manual or auto?

OK - sorry, I can't help.

There’s a cable that connects the gear linkage to the key. If you look at the bottom of the steering column in the engine bay it conducts to a pivot. Give it a waggle and the key should come out. Then you’ll need to adjust it.

I have the level ( button) that Jukebox refers to on my 1980 . Does the steering wheel turn or is locked ? Try giving the wheel a turn against the locking mechanism at same time as trying to remove the key .

Thanks, found it and did the trick.
