2005 XC90 Key won't turn off
 

2005 XC90 Automatic V8 FWD

Car sat for a year or two, I just got it. I had to press the white button down under the shifter to get it to shift. Now it shifts and drives fine. But when I parked after the test drive the key won't turn off, stops half way between 0 and 1. Car can start back up and shift again and drive no problem, but I had to disconnect the battery and leave the key in it. Any one had this one before? Is it a problem with the shifter/linkage/tumber? Any info is appreciated.

If the shift knob is not pressed all the way down that can happen. That is the whole knob needs to be pushed down - so whack the top of the knob gently with your hand - and see if that helps (the knob is simply pressed on, and sometimes gets pulled up slightly when people get frustrated when they cant get it out of park.)

Thanks hoonk, I gave that try but no luck. But I did figure out that if I flip that white switch up under the shifter that I pushed down to get it to shift out of park then it releases the key. However I need to push the switch down again to drive. I'm guessing this means it's the white switch?
