There is a broken wire below your shifter in the console. This controls a solenoid that releases the key. The shifter in the center consle has a part that controls a current to solenoid in your steering column. A quick fix is a nail or piece of wire to release the key. This is in the steering column. There is a pop out that must pushed in to release the key. A longer term fix to replace the part in the shifter.
1998 cadillac catera and it wont shift out of park it just makes a clicking noise and it sounds like it is coming from the steering column Does anybody know why the gear shift wont release?
Pull the shifter boot up away from the console, look inside on the left side of the shifter is a yellow lever...start car, foot on brake, you should hear a release solenoid click under the dash, above the brake lever. This solenoid supplies power to the shifter release solenoid(inside the console, left side) push down on the yellow lever while lifting up on the shifter release and the car(?) will be able to be moved into other gear ratios. If you release the yellow lever and push the shifter fwd into PARK it will lock again and will require this manual release each time. The yellow lever is the manual release for the solenoid next to the shifter assembly, left side. Either replace it (don't have part number) or manually bend the upper tab of the solenoid that holds the shift lever in park. It's probably cheaper but perhaps not as safe. I could use the part number if anyone has it....
