2006 Volvo s40
my key is stuck in the ignition I’ve been looking around on a bunch of different pages but can’t find anything anyone have an idea on how to get it out |
two common causes: 1) the shifter button is stuck slighting inward so its not releasing the key - wiggle the shifter and pull on the button to make it fully pop out should allow the key to release . If the button is not cracked, you can spray some lubricant in there to help let it pop back out normally 2) the steering wheel is slightly cocked and its kickback is pressing on the steering lock. Pulling the steering wheel slightly will relieve the tension. My bet is its the shifter button.

2006 s40
I checked the shifter button I should have added the other night the battery was dead and before I could charge it my wife put the key in and turned it after that it’s been giving me problems it came out last night and I took it out tonight and the key is stuck again |
If the battery is too low, the key won't come out. Just stick a charger / jump box on the battery and you can get the key out.

S40
Today it’s working fine I have another ignition I’m going to swap it out this weekend |
I thought maybe Volvo required programming to replace an ignition switch (since they do for the steering column lock module!!!) but it appears they don't. Hooray!
It looks like swapping out the ignition switch is "interesting"... https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/fo...ic.php?t=48176 |
S40
I thought the same thing but they don’t I installed it today and seems to be working fine wife is out with the car now and hasn’t called yet so everything is fine now I hope I get good news from the deal on Monday about my s60
