What would be the matter with a car that is completely dead and the accessories would go on only before attempting to start it why wont the key come out of the ignition?
There's actually nothing wrong with your car. If it's a late model, this is a standard feature. Most sales people aren't aware of the feature because they don't bother to read their training stuff. I used to sell Hummers and I first noticed this on H2's that had been sitting for a while. The batteries would die and as soon as you put the key in it was stuck. We'd have to put a charger on the battery before we could get the key out. Actually the batteries didn't have to be completely dead. The system was designed to kick in when the battery fell below a certain voltage. We could still run the radio but wouldn't be able to get the key out. GM explained it to us as a theft prevention device. I never really bought that but that's what they said. At any rate, it's not a malfunction if you're talking about a late model car.

Why is there an oil leak inside the ignition coil?
Ignition coils contain oil for cooling purposes. If your ignition coil has begun to leak it is only a matter of time before it fails. When it fails you won't be able to generate a spark to ignite the fuel in your engine. It would be best to replace your ignition coil now before it stops working.
How do you remove the ignition cylinder in a 1992 F250 so that you can have it re-keyed?
My boyfriend and I just did this in his Ford E150. You have to remove the steering wheel (several autopart stores rent steering wheel removers). From there you can see the ignition switch. The ignition switch cylinder is about 4 inches long, and projects into the steering column. All you have to do is press a small tab, then pull out the ignition switch. New ignition switches (with keys) are available at autopart stores. I suggest looking at a picture of the switch before attempting to find the tab yourself. BETTER ANSWER You do not have to remove steering wheel. on the bottom of the steering cover there will be three screw holes and a second smaller hole under the switch. with a pocket screw driver on similar device you can push the tab to release the switch.
