i had the same problem with my 97, ended up being the negative battery cable was loose. tightened it up and it worked fine afterwards

Answer yes it did work removing the cap and using screwdriver what i did was extened the legs on the cay reenserting cap so the button stays in and i can now freely remove the keySame thing happens to my 97 I fould out there is a "plunger" as part if the ignition. Under the steering wheel there is a small removable cap that you can take off and put a small screw driverf up into and press the plunger in and it will release the key. I think there is some electrical connection between the shift lever and the ignition. Mine has a floor shifter I am not shure if it is the same for a steering col set up good luck hope this helps

AnswerI also have the same problem with my 97 Blazer with floor shift. I found the plug and inserted the small screwdriver and my key comes right out :-). Thanks...Now I just have to firgue out how to fix it so I do not have to do this all the time.

ANSWER

Small hose clamp around bottom of the plunger housing just under the plunger. Adjust as necessary. Key will come out no problem. Fixed my 97 Jimmy this way. Found the info on a Pontiac Grand Am site. I believe this problem really stems from the switch on the shifter though. I am now unable to get my key to turn away from the run position. Have to remove fuses to shut down vehicle.
