If the steering wheel is in a certain position, the ignition switch will not release the key. You can turn the steering wheel slightly while removing the key.I think it will work.
It allows you to manually shift the transmission when the selector is in the L position.
Occasionally my 200 Malibu does something similar...engine turns off, but radio stays on, etc. Make sure you a really in PARK to get the accessories to turn off.
please give instructions on replacing the ignition switch on my 99 Malibu
can I switch ignition cylinder with a different ignition cylinder w/key in a 2004 chevy Malibu without having to use a passcode
Chevrolet dealer.
My 1999 Chevy Malibu does the same thing. Make sure the gear shift selector is actually clicked all the way into park (push or pull it until the button clicks). The key cannot be turned all the way to the off position (and removed) until the car is in park.
The Malibu has been in production on and off for Fifty years, What year are you asking about?
You need to be more specific as to what you are referring. I am not sure if you are referring to the ignition switch or module.
I did it on a 98 Malibu by buying a remote starter and having it installed at car toys.
how DO YOU REMOVE AN IGNITION CYLINDER FROM A MALIBU CHEVROLET 2000
Remove the ignition module retaining ring. Pull the ignition barrel out. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the ignition barrel. Reverse the process to install the new ignition module.
needs a ignition cylinder and has to be reprogramed.
