Replace your ignition switch, common problem, especially in 2002. As far as getting your key out:

Look under the switch that you put your key in on the bottom part of the steering column cover....In your year, some have an open hole there in which you can push the solenoid to release your key. Others have an outline of where a hole was going to go, will be very faint. But this can be carefully cut or drilled out to access the solenoid.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your response!!!"

2004 GMC Envoy: How can I fix the jammed sunroof?

How exactly is it 'jammed'? Is it wide open? Locked closed? stuck half way? Please use the Comment button below if you would like more help.
Go back to the basics. Check the fuse for the motor and you that you can here the motor trying move it. With the ignition OFF and safely using step ladders access the sunroof from above. Using a stiff toothbrush, cotton buds, (cue tips), and a clean rag, clean out the channels the sunroof sits in.
if you are in any doubt go to a good mechanic or a good auto-electrician and get them to look at the problem.

My 2002 gmc envoy starts with remote but will not crank with keys

The remote start bypasses the ignition portion of the antitheft security system to allow you to remotely start the truck. But the system still needs the signal from the key to allow the vehicle to remain running and drive. I would assume the ignition is bad or needs to be trained to the system if it was replaced.

When key is turned on and gauges go crazy, car won't start, when key is turned and gauges are normal car will start

Envoy ignition switches are known for having intermittent problems and causing strange indications in the truck. Have the ignition switch changed and I'm pretty sure your problems will be solved.

Key stuck in on posistion of 2004 envoy. Engine could not turn off. Had to unplug battery to turn off. Key still stuck in on posistion. Will not come out

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you spray WD40 on the ignition switch. This will help loosen the gearing, by then you can remove the key.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

2002 GMC Envoy

If your 2002 gmc envoy or sierra will not even turn over with a kown good battery try starting it in nuetral then go back to park and try starting again. There is a park nuetral safety switch that can malfunction. Turn the key on then shift into nuetral, then turn fully to start.
