Key stuck in ignition of Trailblazer.

My key is stuck in the ignition of my trailblazer. It will start just fine, can listen to the radio, etc; but when i shut it off and try to turn the key back to get it to come out, it won't turn all the way back to release the key. So, now, I have to turn the power to my radio off and dim all lights when I park it! Anyone have a solution? Please help!!!!

There is a small 1/4'' oblong cover plate on the underside of the stearing column. Pop this out and there is a button you push in ( like the Crysler key relase) and this will allow you to remove the key.

How do I get the electrical systems working?

Do you have head lights or any other electrical accessories come on when the jumper cables are connected or is the trailblazer completely dead.

2004 4WD Trailblazer didn't start this morning. No crank, no ticking but some power to accessories. My son tried to put window down and the radio came on. Later in the day, the radio came on...

I had the key stuck once. Make sure the key is in the off position. Make sure the steering wheel is not locked against a stop. The vehicle must be in park and try stepping on the brake. Try jumping the car with another car or battery pack.

2003 Trailblazer- no power after key stuck in ignition

Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.

Remove the cover of the switch, there is a silver button below the place where you put the key. Press it and the key will be released!
