SOURCE: Key fab stopped working now emergency flashers continue to go off

Sounds like a problem with the computer, or alarm system,
A budy of mine had a similar problem with the locks, it turned out that the alarm clicker was shorting out..

SOURCE: Key will not turn and transmission will not shift out of Park.

The key wont turn to start in an automatic unless it is in park. As yours in in park and you can't move it out. You will have to sort the transmition problem first then it should start as normal. There is a good few things that could be making it stick in park so I connot advise. Start with the lever and cables.

SOURCE: 1994 Saturn SL2 Key stuck in ignition cylinder

Put some pressure on the steering wheel in one direction or the other this may take the pressure off the cylinder itself and allow you to do what is needed...hope this works.

SOURCE: how do i get vehicle out of park?

Two possibilities. One the brake switch is bad. Press the brake pedal and see if you have brake lights. No lights replace the switch at the brake pedal. Next is the solenoid at the shifter. Most times you have to buy the entire shifter to get the solenoid.

Key wont go in to lock position. Now, battery has 13 volts but car wont start all lights come on 2006 monte carlo
To remove key (lock position), the transmission needs to be in PARK.

To start (engine crank), the transmission must be either in PARK or NEUTRAL.

Try apply parking break, put transmission in neutral and turn ignition key. If engine does not crank, turn and hold key in start position then move transmission selector to see if there is a transmission select position where it does crank.

2008 Saturn Vue stuck in park. I think the starter is bad, Battery is good, but nothing happen when you turn key, and i can't get it to neutral. Says nothing bout shift lock override in owner manual
May be a bad brake interlock switch. If the switch is bad, it doesnt know you are pressing the brake, so wont start and wont shift out of park. Sometimes it's a different switch from the brake lights.

I have an 2005 Saturn Ion 2 that the ignition won't give me my keys when I shut off the car. Any ideas??
This could be an ignition key placement problem! Most cars get worn out with the key start. I have replaced the "switch" with the keys on numerous cars. They have tumblers like all locks, when these become worn or loose their place, they will not allow the function to work properly. It is not in the correct place to allow the key to come out. Some try to keep the car in the starting position etc. Other's will not turn the car completely off, and you will draw down the battery. Check this out with either a dealer or take it to Auto-zone/Napa etc. They sell this replacement key switch.

I don’t know what is wrong with my Saturn .it locked my key in ignition and won’t start either
If the position sensor for transmission is faulty it cannot detect park or neutral. In my younger days we called them neutral safety switches. These days the key locks in ignition too when they die or come loose.

How do I turn my alarm on the saturn vue
If you have a factory installed alarm the original factory key can activate the alarm by pressing the lock button twice(rapidly). The lock symbol is generally a symbol of a "locked" lock.
If there is no buttons on the car key or it is an aftermarket alarm, a key fab (a little alarm remote control with 2-4 buttons the size of a keychain) is needed to activate/deactivate the alarm.

Key will not turn ,to start engine
Hello, this common situation arises when the steering lock mechanism binds, usually because the wheels are jammed against the curb. And to solve this problem try to follow this steps.

1. Make sure the transmission is in park(for cars with automatic transmission )

2. Set the parking brake to prevent the car from rolling farther against the curb.

3. Pull hard on the steering wheel while turning it in both directions, if this doesn't free the wheel move to step 4.

4. Release the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral, let up on the foot pedal just enough to rock the car slightly.

5. Turn the steering wheel again. The key should turn now.

Thanks
