Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I just used my key to lockthe drivers door from the outside for the first time. Now the key will NOT come out.

Any advice is welcome. I pulled REALLY hard. It is in there good.

Have you tried WD40 or any other type of lubricant?

Not yet. I am at work. I just searched the owner's manual PDF hoping there was some trick, but found nothing. Key locks and unlocks just fine, but when returned to vertical position, it feels like someone on the inside of the door is holding onto it with vise grips. It's THAT solid feeling. Doesn't even feel close to coming out.

How in the Hell!!?? I have never had that happen, but one thing I can say, if your like me, "STAY CALM" dont "yank the crap out of it" I know I would be pi$$ed. Have you tried wiggling it very gently? Another thing you could try is operating like normal ie: lock, unlock, lock, unlock, etc.... See if this helps. Let us know what's up. remember "STAY CALM" :seeya:

I am calm .

And I tried EVERY combination of left/right/up/down/in/out wiggle

Have you tried using the keyfob part of the key to see if locking and unlocking the door will release the key?

Never heard of this one.

Yep. Tried lock, unlock, even trunk

Had buddies jiggle the inside handle, outside handle, and inside lock switch while I was 'wiggling'.

Finally took a break. Walked back up to it, wiggled once, and it came out slicker than sh!t. Sprayed a healthy amount of WD in the lock once the key was out. Won't be trying that one again until I am in front of the dealership's door.

Thanks guys.

Thanks.

Looks like all of their cars were automatics. I should have said that mine is a 6sp.

EDIT - what the heck? I was replying to a post right above this one. Did it get removed because it mentioned another GTO board?

 

[UdnUdnGTO]

WD 40? OMG! Wipe it off before you put it into your ignition. When it gets cold, gummy time! Then collects dust and we now have gummy time with extra wear. There must be a better way?????!!!!! Lets see Amsoil......

 

[raven1124]

Not trying to rag on ya but that was funny as hell. I can only imagine if my key was stuck in my door. I would be so embarrassed. But I'm glad you got it out though.

 

[BlownGTO]

I guess the GTO just didnt want to let go, she had been Penetrated and wanted to remain that way until she was finished.

Nope, Monica (gto_lady04) deleted her post.

Sorry if this seems stupid, but what the hell were you doing sticking the key in the door anyway? You've got remote keyless entry and locking right?

Don't think I've ever 'penetrated' my baby with the key. No need to

Because I am embarassed when my horn goes, "beep, beep" infront of people. It is kind of yuppie. I wanted to lock my door quietly.

Nothing yuppie about a GTO imo

 

[MeanGoat]

I believe you can modify that so it doesn;t do the beep beep.

How self conscious are you man?

 

[lotaguts]

So why dont you just set the lock to indicators only this will eliminate the horn chirp when locking.

 

[jhs5ydo]

You can program the "Beep Beep" out if you want to. I'm with you on that. The lights still flash but no noise. Aren't these great cars?

I believe WD40 is a degreaser, not a lubricant. So here's hoping your lock doesn't get rusty as hell.

Yes. Today was only the 3rd time EVER I have driven the car. Give me time.
