First time poster long time reader.

Anyway my keys stuck in the ignition I can't just press the button for the key release I kinda have to pick the lock to get to the emergency release switch. I never had a problem b4 but I thought it might be electrical because I added so many things to the car hi power stereo/mp3 player new speakers and amps and foglights. And after that is when I started to get the problem. Im thinking of taking it to the mechanic soon. Its just really annoying. Plus my power attenna stop going down. It usually goes down when u push it down a little. Now it stopped all together. Anyway thats all I got.

:thinker

Your lock cylinder may be bad, you can buy a new one with key at napa. As for your power antenna it may be wired into your constant power instead of your "on" power line. (damn forgot the name of them like the constant is the thick yellow wire, then there's the other 12v red wire that only sends power when the switch is in the on position) So the antenna is always receiving a signal to stay raised. Pushing it down may have burned the motor up in it though.
